Longdust, a new tool to identify highly repetitive STRs, VNTRs, satellite DNA and other low-complexity regions (LCRs). Similar to SDUST but for long regions. github.com/lh3/longdust

Many proteins bind RNA, yet we still don’t know what RNAs most bind because methods map one RBP at a time. In @CellCellPress, with the Jovanovic lab, we describe SPIDR – a method for mapping the RNA binding sites of dozens of RBPs in a single experiment. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Do you want to know more about how transposons control plant gene expression? here is our new review, with a twist 😉, may the force be with you! "The genome awakens: transposon-mediated gene regulation" Trends in Plant Science cell.com/trends/plant-s…

"A long-distance inhibitory system regulates haustoria numbers in parasitic plants", our work is now out in @PNASNews . We propose that parasitic plants count their infection numbers, and dynamically regulate new infections in response. Read all about it: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

Excited to share work from Zhongshou Wu in our lab showing that GDE1 and REM transcription factors help shape DNA methylation patterning. Together with work from Julie Law’s lab also just out, this shows an important way that genetics directs epigenetics. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Why is it that gene promoters are so good at avoiding DNA methylation? Work from Ming Wang, Yan He et al., shows that H3K4me3, enriched at promoters, acts as an anti-DNA methylation mark by recruiting DNA demethylase enzymes! Nice work guys! rdcu.be/d9rPo
