With some help from @raduzabet.bsky.social, I've created a starter pack of researchers working on #Epigenetics, Chromatin and Gene Regulation who are active on here:
go.bsky.app/TKp9YAn
I've likely missed many people so let me know if you want to be added. Similarly if you would like to be removed.

1/ 🧵 I am excited to share a new preprint from our group:
Single-cell Dam&T-seq during mouse corticogenesis reveals how genome–lamina interactions regulate long neuronal genes.

MeCP2 binding and genome–lamina reorganization precede long gene activation during mouse corticogenesis
During corticogenesis, neural gene expression is tightly coordinated by chromatin and epigenetic changes, whose misregulation can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders[1][1]–[4][2]. The role of spatial...

Agreed, truly a team effort - but a huge amount of credit to @kataruka.bsky.social for her leadership. Smarca5 is important for chromatin remodeling in DNA damage repair during male meiosis (among other things!)
Truly a team effort from the Lesch lab @ambystoma22.bsky.social Happy to share this paper where we study the role of Smarca5 in spermatogenesis.

ICYMI: New Online! Degrons: defining the rules of protein degradation
Degrons: defining the rules of protein degradation
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 14 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00870-zDegrons allow E3 ubiquitin ligases to identify their substrates, and thus have a central role in protein degradation by the ubiquitin–proteasome system. This Review discusses the latest insights into the mechanisms underlying degron function, the relevance of degrons in disease and how degrons can be harnessed for therapeutic protein degradation.

Very excited to share our new work on gastruloids by the incredible Cat Triandafillou! We mapped gene expression across 26 individual gastruloids at single-cell resolution and discovered some pretty amazing patterns about how these "mini-embryos" organize themselves.

Single-cell spatial mapping reveals reproducible cell type organization and spatially-dependent gene expression in gastruloids
Gastruloids are three-dimensional stem-cell-based models that recapitulate key aspects of mammalian gastrulation, including formation of an anterior-posterior (AP) axis. However, we do not have detail...

Liquid-liquid phase separation of HP1? Not in our mouse fibroblasts… This paper by the Fabian Erdel group offers a fresh perspective on how this can be reconciled with seemingly conflicting reports: The phase separation propensity of HP1 decreases from yeast → fly → mouse. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Maternal iron deficiency causes male-to-female sex reversal in mouse embryos - Nature
Iron-deficient conditions in pregnant mice can cause XY mouse embryos to develop female rather than male genitalia, revealing that iron metabolism has a role in determining male sex in mice.
