The 4D Nucleome review is out. It surveys recent advances in our understanding of the 4D Nucleome (3D space + time) with a focus on techniques and methods used to study it. Read the full review here.  We said goodbye to Shdema who is heading back to Israel for her next adventure. Shdema has been heading a project to understand enhancer dysregulation in cancer and we wish her all the best for her new adventure. We celebrated Shdema by cooking a spring meal together at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts.
Thanks to Domenic for teaching the summer build-a-fluorescence-microscope bootcamp again this year, covering both the theory of optics and microscopy and guiding everyone through building their own fluorescence microscope.
Congratulations to Viraat and Miles on their Region-Capture Micro-C (RCMC) paper being published in Nature Genetics today - you can read the full story here. By combining region capture with Micro-C, RCMC is able to resolve 3D genome structure at unprecedented depth and helped us uncover new features of the 3D genome. See also a news story from MIT News by Anne Trafton and a nice 2-min video explainer featuring Viraat and Miles by Melanie Gonick.   |
