Excited to attend the EMBL Transcription and Chromatin meeting #EMBLtranscript @EMBLEvents

Come to see my poster #287 if you are interested in genetic screening and high-throughput functional protein tagging.

Excited to share our paper in @natgenet.nature.com on the de novo design of tissue-specific mammalian enhancers that function in vivo in mouse embryos. 🧬🐭
