#FunctionalGenomics

Today, I reread Fulco et al's 2019 paper on "Activity-by-contact model of enhancer–promoter regulation from thousands of CRISPR perturbation" nature.com/articles/s41588-019 Still one of my favorites, because the authors combined innovative functional genomics with down-to-earth computational approaches - and obtained a highly usable method to predict enhancer -> gene interactions (the ABC model). #functionalgenomics #epigenetics #literature #science

NatureActivity-by-contact model of enhancer–promoter regulation from thousands of CRISPR perturbations - Nature GeneticsCombining CRISPRi-FlowFISH to perturb enhancers with an activity-by-contact model to predict complex connections allows systematic mapping of enhancer–gene connections in a given cell type, on the basis of chromatin-state measurements.

I guess I should do an #introduction -- I'm a computational biologist working at the intersection of bacterial #PathogenGenomics and #FunctionalGenomics, mostly on sequencing-based technologies, and run a research group at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research in Würzburg.

We dabble in #MachineLearning, #BayesianStatistics, and #DataVisualization, figuring out ways to apply these techniques to investigate #Pathogen #GeneRegulation and #Evolution.
