Pathogenic CANVAS (AAGGG)n repeats stall DNA replication due to the formation of alternative DNA structures https://t.co/I4Q1b1UUUc

Super proud of this work from my PhD! Thanks to amazing scientists @semirkin @GabrielMatosRo5 @nussenza @chiara_masnovo @AHzRs and more!

@EricaJeanPhD This is hilarious😂

[Rebecca Brown @_becca_brown]

One of my best grad school friends recently posted her paper on bioRxiv! Check it out, it’s really awesome!!!😊

[Julia Hisey @julia_hi_c]

Our CANVAS paper is up on biorxiv! Big shout out to the team who helped turn this from a hypothetical quals proposal into this work.

Had a great week at @Fusion_Conf #BGFP23 meeting some amazing scientists/seeing friends from prior meetings, hearing incredible work and presenting my own, all in beautiful Tulum, Mexico! 🧬🌴

My co-first author publication with @xiaofengsu from @CatherineFreud2 's lab in the @Tufts_Biology department was recently featured! See below!

RNA processing prevents transcription-replication conflicts, DNA breaks, and CAG repeat contractions https://t.co/soACHz4O2v

[Catherine Freudenreich @CatherineFreud2]

In case you missed it…came out over the holidays. Unexpected role for RPA sequestration in RNA processing mutants. Congrats to @_becca_brown and @xiaofengsu who figured it out!

[Tufts Biology Department @Tufts_Biology]

Congratulations, @EricaJeanPhD! Erica is a postdoc in @CatherineFreud2's lab and is teaching both Advanced Genetics & the Molecular Genetics Lab this semester. We can't wait to read your paper once it is published and are so thankful for all that you bring to our department!👩‍🔬

[Tufts Biology Department @Tufts_Biology]

More awesome work out of the Freudenreich lab. Check out this protocol #TuftsBio graduate student @_becca_brown published in December 2022!
