An understanding of the mechanisms and logic by which transcription factors coordinate gene regulation requires delineation of their genomic interactions at a genome-wide scale. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) and more recent techniques, including CUT&Tag, typically reveal thousands of genomic interactions by transcription factors, but without insight into their functional roles. Due to cost and time considerations, optimization of ChIP experimental conditions is typically carried out only with representative interaction sites rather than through genome-wide analyses.

- There is a need for more partnerships between schools and universities to help reduce the academic achievement gap, especially in STEM education.
- The QBio-EDGE program was launched in summer 2020 to provide high school students in Los Angeles, particularly those from historically excluded communities, with access to scientific research and diverse role models through virtual learning.
- The program emphasizes the importance of building diverse teams, forming trusting relationships with schools, and creating engaging, student-centered classroom experiences, while also calling for stronger institutional support for science outreach efforts.
