We do not know the function of the far majority of our genome, limiting our ability to diagnose and treat patients. Our lab seeks to solve this.
Deaminase-assisted Fiber-seq (DAF-seq) has arrived! DAF-seq is an amplification-compatible version of #Fiberseq that resolves genetic and chromatin architectures with single-nucleotide, single-molecule, single-haplotype, and single-cell precision. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I’m excited to share the first manuscript out of my PhD work with @NAltemose, in which we describe FiberFold: a deep learning tool that predicts cell-type-specific and haplotype-specific 3D genome organization from a single experiment! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/
The next generation approach for how we resolve the genetic and molecular basis of rare diseases. A wonderful collaboration between clinical teams @UDNconnect, academic teams, and @PacBio. Thanks @NHGRI_Director, @BrotmanBaty, BWF, and Pew for the funding. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Are CpG methylation and chromatin accessibility polar opposites? #Fiberseq proves they are not in #maize – transposon enhancers can have simultaneous single-molecule hyper-mCpG AND chromatin accessibility. Wonderful collaboration w/ Queitsch lab & @RNAnerd biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
