Check it out, Chromatin Kids! Chromatin remodeller does stuff to Transcription Factors! Functions where it is seldom seen! Both decreases and increases chromatin accessibility! How cool is that?

The chromatin remodeller CHD4 controls both nucleosome integrity and transcription factor binding to promote activity of active regulatory elements and to prevent activation of silent enhancers https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.29.672645v1

Model organism communities are fantastic. Good work, "Drosophilists"! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Giant study finds a research field that’s mostly reproducible

Researchers assessed more than 1,000 results from fruit-fly immunity research published between 1959 and 2011. The majority of findings look verifiable.

How does (local #DNA) structure affect (3D #genome) structure? Can mutating G4s abolish #enhancers key for #blood function? In the second part of our explorations of #G4s in gene regulation, we show how abolishing G-quadruplex structures in the genome disrupts enhancers. 1/9 doi.org/10.1186/s130...

DNA G-quadruplex structures act as functional elements in α- and β-globin enhancers - Genome Biology

Background Enhancer elements interact with target genes at a distance to modulate their expression, but the molecular details of enhancer–promoter interaction are incompletely understood. G-quadruplex...
