Preprint alert! With Irene Amblard @CroBeaver @BorisLenhard @ImperialMed @MRC_LMS we dissect a regulatory circuit that operates during mouse caudal body dev to control Cdx2 Spoiler alert - a single motif switch converts a silencer into an enhancer: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
A dual enhancer-silencer element ensures transient Cdx2 expression during posterior body formation

A dual enhancer-silencer element ensures transient Cdx2 expression during posterior body formation

During development, cells express precise gene expression programmes to assemble the trunk of the body plan. Appropriate control over the duration of the transcription factor Cdx2 is critical to...

Please RT. PhD students funded by @UKRI_News face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)
