Out today in Nature Methods: our manuscript outlining improvements we've made to Genome Architecture Mapping (GAM) and comparisons between GAM and Hi-C.TLDR: We made GAM much cheaper, show that it performs better than Hi-C at detecting complex interactions and identify a class of CTCF-enhancer interactions that are poorly detected by Hi-C.

My research group at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford uses #SingleCell techniques and Genome Architecture Mapping to study #epigenetics #Chromatin and #GenomeFolding in rare #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders.

I (He/Him) love to be outside #Hiking or #Cycling and I’m a big fan of #FlightFree travel. Interested in #Equity issues in STEM, trying to read and educate myself to be a better ally.

Toot at me with your #Andor theories!
