Functional maps of a genomic locus reveal confinement of an enhancer by its target gene Genes are often activated by enhancers located at large genomic distances, and the importance of this positioning is poorly understood. By relocating promoter-reporter constructs into thousands of alt...

Our reporter hopping scaled up to thousands of integrations in a single locus, to produce high-resolution functional maps, with plenty of interesting insights: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Very proud of our paper on "scrambling-by-hopping" LADs, which was just published: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Congrats to Lise Dauban and the rest of the team – this was a real tour-de-force!

Predicting gene expression from DNA sequence using deep learning models Nature Reviews Genetics - Barbadilla-Martínez et al. review recent progress in deep-learning-based sequence-to-expression models, which predict gene expression levels solely from DNA sequence....

Together with the De Ridder lab www.deridderlab.nl we just published a review on deep learning as a tool for gene expression analysis/ prediction: rdcu.be/elQCc.
