Genome architecture shapes the evolutionary origins of redundant enhancers in fly and mouse

Jillian Ness, Brendan Kosztyo, Zeba Wunderlich

The paper investigates the evolutionary origins of shadow enhancers in fly and mouse genomes, finding that duplication and transposable element co-option contribute to their formation.

Novel Drosophila cis-regulatory elements can be uncovered by footprinting transcription factor binding sites in ATAC-seq data

Christian Mei, Jillian Ness, Katherine Nakai, Zeba Wunderlich

The paper uses ATAC-seq data and TF footprinting tools to identify novel cis-regulatory elements in Drosophila embryos, finding that many TF binding sites lie outside known enhancers.
