Latest #GENETICS study uses structural analysis to identify components of the #Candida albicans inner kinetochore network and shows their functions in fitness and cell cycle progression by carrying out loss-of-function mutant characterization. https://t.co/8HlJH5rxha
#GENETICS cover shows an illustration of novel proteins identified in the Constitutive Centromere-Associated Network (CCAN) of Candida albicans depicted as orchestra members.🎻 Musicians grouped by color & instrument families represent the subcomplexes within CCAN. More⬇️

Folks, for your EDI training, interest group, or book clubs, please consider including the book “The Backstreets” by the disappeared Uyghur author Perhat Tursun to learn about the human suffering caused by modern day colonization and cultural assimilation.
Writing and translating “The Backstreets,” a book about the oppressive environment faced by Uyghurs in China, was a danger to those involved. Now, with the author and one of its translators in detention, the book is coming out. https://t.co/rhlY26Pgm1
Enthusiasm in science is not enough to foster the next generation of scientist, sufficient stipend that students don’t need to worry about their dignity of living will. https://t.co/i3kecxj35P
My last co-first author publication from the @CowenLab is now in @NatureComms!
This was a massive team effort from incredible scientists including @CiFungi, @KaliIyer, Emma Lash, Alice Xue, Chad Myers' team, and many dedicated undergrads. Congrats team!
