We mapped DNaseI hypersensitive sites (DHSs) and applied genomic footprinting to define in vivo transcription factor (TF) occupancy at nucleotide resolution across the A. thaliana genome in whole seedlings during heat- and light-response states. We find that trait-associated variation localizes with...
The spatial organization of genes in the interphase nucleus plays an important role in establishment and regulation of gene expression. Contradicting results have been reported to date, with little consensus about the dynamics of nuclear organization and the features of the contact loci. In this s...
Combinatorial transcription factor (TF) interactions regulate hematopoietic stem cell formation, maintenance and differentiation, and are increasingly recognised as drivers of stem cell signatures in cancer. However, genome-wide combinatorial binding patterns for key regulators do not exist in prim...
The C. elegans gene swip-10 encodes an orphan metallo beta-lactamase that genetic studies indicate is vital for limiting neuronal excitability and viability. Sequence analysis indicates that the mammalian gene Mblac1 is the likely ortholog of swip-10, with greatest sequence identity localized...
