As we wait for the final version in the journal, I leave here the last version that we uploaded on bioarchive.
I hope you like it!

Congratulations Maria with this great story! I'm happy that your visit to our groups at EMBL was so productive and we could support you with the single-cell multiomics experiments. 🧬🧫🧠

Thrilled to share the story stemming from my PhD!
We used mESC neural differentiation, genome editing and bulk & single-cell approaches to uncover how ZIC2 controls early neural fate by playing a dual and sequential regulatory role as a promiscous pioneer and a selective lineage-specific activator.

🥁 New article 📢: #Mechanobiology of #development during #Drosophila #gastrulation using #Brillouin microscopy, now in @natcomms.nature.com : rdcu.be/ev6ZX
Collab. w/ @Prevedel_Lab @embl.org , Maria Leptin @marialep.bsky.social, @abhisha-thayambath.bsky.social, Julio Belmonte @ncstate.bsky.social

SUM-seq: New single-cell method by @biomedizin.unibas.ch , @embl.org , @au.dk ‬‬ and Tampere university enables large-scale analysis of gene activity & DNA accessibility across millions of cells.
Congrats Prof. Zaugg & collaborators!‬‬‬‬‬‬

Looking for an ultra-high-throughput single-cell RNA+ATAC method? 🎆

Check out our SUM-seq method, now officially out! 🧬

Showcased on macrophages, T cells, and iPSC-derived embryoid bodies; more cell types and tissues to come! 🧫

Reach out for the detailed protocol! 📝 ✨

/ rant on:
Abbreviating cis-regulatory elements as *CRE* is a terrible abbreviation in a field that uses *Cre* recombinase as major lineage trace tool. 🐭🐟🧬
