We are a group at the Center for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) at Heidelberg University that strive to understand the regulatory principals that govern gene expression in health and diseasehttps://bsky.app/profile/grandlab.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/grandlab.bsky.social/post/3mlau7ialek2xExcited to share our first story led by @martinacapriati.bsky.social! How do cells control the expression of viability genes? We find that single transcription factors can drive both chromatin opening and gene activation from densely co-bound CpG island promoters, including at essential genes07 May 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:35avw62pfusvrtjttpz7danb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlau7ialek2x
