H4K16 acylations destabilize chromatin architecture and facilitate transcriptional response during metabolic perturbations
Nitsch et al. show that short-chain acylations of histone H4K16, acetylation (C2),
propionylation (C3), and butyrylation (C4) modulate chromatin structure in vitro.
These effects can translate in vivo...

Excited for this new preprint from my lab where we unexpectedly found a role for methionine synthase reductase in regulating heterochromatin independently of methionine synthesis 👇
Methionine synthase reductase regulates heterochromatin independently of methionine synthesis through mitochondrial homeostasis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.19.695597v1

Our new preprint is out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
We show that GRN benchmarks commonly used can overestimate performance due to negative-sampling choices, sometimes allowing simple degree-based baselines to rival more complex GNNs.
A reminder of why bias-aware evaluation matters!
