Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Fascinating new work by @federicamosti.bsky.social @debbysilver.bsky.social on human-specific neurodevelopment, linking ‘Human Accelerated Regions’ to chromatin architecture, cortical cell fate and expansion and folding of brains 🧪🧠🧬

Species-specific chromatin architecture and neurogenesis mediated by a human enhancer
Genomic modifications underlie the evolution of human features, including a larger neocortex and enhanced cognition. Human Accelerated Regions (HARs) are highly-conserved loci containing human-specifi...

“findings suggest the existence of tens of thousands of enhancers that remain undiscovered by currently available chromatin data” 🧪🧬
Hiding in plain sight - how close are we to mapping ALL 🧬enhancers🧬 in the genome?
Our new paper by Mannion et al. takes a systematic look at "hidden enhancers" and why they remain so hard to find. With @mosterwalder.bsky.social, @jlopezrios.bsky.social & many more

#FluorescenceFriday 🔬🧫 Neural progenitor cells cultured in 2D (Blue: Sox2, Yellow: GFAP). While I love working with complex 3D tissue, there’s something captivating about 2D cultures. Time at the microscope is the best therapy, it always reminds me why I fell in love with biology in the first place.
