Very proud to present the lab’s first bioRxiv preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Great collaboration between @benoitbruneau and @ElphegeNoraLab. Main gist is that WAPL is important for maintaining dynamic cohesin to bring promoters and enhancers together. Digest in the thread. @benoitbruneau @ElphegeNoraLab 1/9 Using the auxin inducible degron (AID) system we acute depleted the cohesin release factor WAPL from mouse ESCs. Within 1 hour WAPL is lost. This leads to morphological changes that suggest differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase staining suggests a loss of pluripotency.
