The regulome, comprising transcription factors, cofactors, chromatin remodelers, and other regulatory proteins, forms the core machinery by which cells interpret signals and execute gene expression programs. Despite its central role in development, disease, and drug response, the regulome remains largely uncharted at scale due to its dynamic, low-abundance, and chromatin-associated nature. Here, we present a method for scalable, regulome profiling for global, compartment-resolved quantification of native regulome proteins.

A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying enthesis development and healing is needed for developing treatments. We recently identified hedgehog (Hh)-lineage cells critical for enthesis development and repair.

We share vignettes applying adaptable quality control (QC) measures to assess sample preparation, system function, and quantitative analysis. System suitability samples are repeatedly measured longitudinally with targeted methods, and we share examples where they are used on three instrument platforms to identify severe system failures and track function over months to years.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent and costly age-related dementia. Heritable factors account for 58-79% of variation in late-onset AD, but substantial variation remains in age-of- onset, disease severity, and whether those with high-risk genotypes acquire AD. To emulate the diversity of human populations, we utilized the AD-BXD mouse panel.
