@AtlPeachtreeGa1 @washingtonpost What MIT riot?

@TabathaWal14478 @TheTennisLetter To take Alcaeaz to 7-5 in 4th, as a 38 yr old. Amazing

@xy99266 @NEWSMAX You hsve a dhort memory. See student loans.

@RepClayHiggins family of 4: $4200/52 = $80.75 a week. You probably "properly shop" for more wine a week than that. How do you end up so heartless?

@McMurraylab In S288c - the reference genome - HMRA has a "stuck" mutatiion that has reduced HO cutting when at MAT. and when MATa-stk switches to MATalpha-stk it is sterile (MATalpha1-minus) and even harder to switch.

[James Haber @Haberlab]

@McMurraylab I rarely post, so sorry for the late reply.

[James Haber @Haberlab]

@McMurraylab For what it's worth, HMRa in the reference genome is a "stuck" allele that greatly reduces HO cleavage. Moreover, when this same mutation at MATa-stk is switched to MATalpha-stk it is sterile (alpha 1-minus) and even more difficult to switch.

[James Haber @Haberlab]

@McMurraylab good question. The assumption might be wrong - that in the wild intra-ascal matings are the norm; but it seems logical, and especially for heterothallic yeasts. I also don't know what fraction of wildtype yeast are homothallic. more below

@HarmitMalik @Barr_lab @gavinrrice Is there a list of the winners?

[James Haber @Haberlab]

@sgpombe @mcveylab Sorry I missed your talk. I'll look for the video.

@JogerstKristen But doesn't anyone cover the weekend? Asking for someone who has called twice about hernia recovery.

[James Haber @Haberlab]

@aurelepiazza that would be nice!

In antigenic variation in Lyme disease the vlsE surface protein gene is repeatedly changed by recombination with 15 adjacent pseudogenes. We tried to stimulate this in culture by cutting with Cas9. Mais non! Breaks cause loss of the immunity plasmid. https://t.co/7jMs6PFnZC

The 52nd Rosenstiel Award goes to two excepetional women: Erin Schuman and Christine Holt for their discoveries of the mechanisms of local protein translation that enables a neuron to get from the eye to the brain. https://t.co/dkkXmIswxy

So suddenly I find myself looking for a new postdoc to work on double-strand break repair in yeast: mutations arising during gene editing and other types of DNA repair. Applicants should send a CV and cover letter to Jim Haber ([email protected]).

An outrageous > 6-month delay by the USCIS in approving a waiver for my postdoc to remain in the US has led to her departure from my lab – she was not allowed to work or draw a salary while the wheels of bureaucracy ground on. What a mess! So now...
