Reporter CRISPR screens decipher cis-regulatory and trans-regulatory principles at the Xist locus - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Here Schwämmle et al. develop CRISPR reporter screens to map transcription-factor-regulatory element interactions at the Xist locus, revealing a two-step mechanism integrating developmental and X-dosage signals to initiate X-chromosome inactivation.

⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation.
👉 We discover how sex and development signals are decoded at a single gene locus.

Is lab grown meat a palatable option for the food industry? What if instead of raising animals for years and slaughtering them to harvest their meat, we could grow it in laboratories?

Happy to share my first science piece written for the Naked Scientists website !

Role of X chromosome and dosage-compensation mechanisms in complex trait genetics We show that the X chromosome, understudied in genome-wide association studies, contributes to complex traits in a manner shaped by dosage-compensation mechanisms. We find near-full X inactivation bal...

One thing still missing in many GWAS pipelines: chrX analysis... In this study from @ajhgnews.bsky.social, Mefford et al. explore X-GWAS across 48 UKBB traits and as expected, ~3% of trait heritability comes from chrX.
Looks like it’s time we start doing this! www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...

Silent X chromosome awakens with age In aging female mice, genes on the second X chromosome become active again. This could be an explanation for sex differences in aging humans regarding disease.

Why do women experience aging-related diseases differently than men? A new study shows that with age, genes on the inactive X chromosome can reactivate – potentially influencing conditions like #dementia and #autoimmunity: go.tum.de/987255
