Exons can regulate genes too!
Our new work shows that many coding exons are also enhancers, identified across species, and diseases. These exonic enhancers (EEs) can modulate gene expression and present regulatory variants.

Just out on bioRxiv!
Our latest study uncovers a widespread class of dual-function elements: Exonic Enhancers (EEs) — coding sequences that also act as cis-regulatory enhancers.

Exonic enhancers are a widespread class of dual-function regulatory elements
Exonic enhancers (EEs) occupy an under-appreciated niche in gene regulation. By integrating transcription factor binding, chromatin accessibility, and high-throughput enhancer-reporter assays, we demo...

I had a great time presenting at the Institut Français de Bioinformatique (IFB) / ELIXIR France annual meeting! Got valuable feedback during my talk ! I’m optimistic about the support for the ReMap resource from the IFB and look forward to the collaborations ahead !
