We performed a comprehensive analysis on ~9000 promoters that have open chromatin in most cell types in human and mouse. They belong to cell-essential genes and show distinct regulatory mechanisms. @Kaili_Fan @MooreJillE @kepbod @umassmed_zlab @NAR_open doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkab345

I'm very excited to share our work on Expanding the Encyclopedias of DNA elements in the Human and Mouse Genomes, which is out today in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 1/8

A good guide to write in precision!
Been putting together some documents for writing. Came up with this list of "Words to avoid when writing" to be a concrete list of things to search for and replace, along with examples of why they're bad and how to correct them. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Dr. Zhang is presenting how transposons are controlled by piRNAs! Great and impressive work from his Ph.D. hard work!! Congrats, Dr. Zhang! #GenZhang Ph.D. defense.
Great job combining dCas9 and APEX2 to enable rapid RNA-guided, subcellar proteomic profiling at specific genomic loci. Congrats to Dr. Gao’ successful and awesome Ph.D defense!

Dr. Gao is explaining his cool method, C-BERST, in a crowded room in a very heavy snow day! Congrats to Dr. Gao’ successful and awesome Ph.D defense! @danielxingao

Congrats to all! I heard the story from Bill at Umass and it was one of the best talks I had in 2019! I also want to give a shout-out to @TianxiongYu @ZhipingWeng, as I realize her lab was left in many tweets. But man, the bioinformatics part is indispensable in this paper!
So cool for @NoahSilverstein and me to be a part of this amazing project with Bill Theurkauf and @ZhipingWeng here at @UMassMedical

I just joined University of Massachusetts Medical School at Worcester as an Assistant Professor this June.
My lab is seeking enthusiastic postdoc and students with passion and self-motivation in computational biology/bioinformatics/epigenomics:
