Dissecting the impact of transcription factor dose on cell reprogramming heterogeneity using scTF-seq - Nature Genetics This study introduces single-cell transcription factor (TF) sequencing, a single-cell barcoded and doxycycline-inducible TF overexpression approach that reveals dose-sensitive functional classes of TFs and cellular heterogeneity by mapping TF dose-dependent transcriptomic changes during the reprogramming of mouse embryonic multipotent stromal cells.

🧵1/ Excited to share our new paper introducing a new #singlecell assay: scTF-seq, a high-throughput single-cell approach to explore how transcription factor (TF) dose shapes cell identity and reprogramming outcomes. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Big congrats to the entire team @EPFL & @SIAT_China

To all attending @edrc2025.bsky.social, enjoy it !

I am so happy to announce that our Drosophila testis multiome paper is now published in Nature Communications !!! I am very happy and proud of all who contributed, in particular Patrick and Pallavi who did an amazing job! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was a great day with you ! Thanks for your visit and insights, and the great lecture on Hox !

I habe mein Hertz in Heidelberg verloren, as they say over here.. great day at COS with science and friends

Sehr beeindruckend und bewegend!!!

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration. Tracy Barbutes/Special to the Chronicle

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

this is awful in all respects!

The #EDRC2025 will select proposals for six workshops, each with up to nine speakers (12 minutes presentations + 3 minutes Q/A). If you are interested in hosting a workshop, please send a one-page proposal to edrc2025alicante@umh.es by May 5, 2025

Very happy with my new office deco: “vintage” poster from a 1986 EMBO workshop on homeotic genes. I left the lab of @ilohmann.bsky.social 12 years ago but … what can I say, still a special place in my ❤️ for #hox genes! #EMBOevents

This is so cool ! Love it!!
