Our latest preprint is on bioRxiv! PhD student @thelearningbush (his 1st first author paper!) used long & short read sequencing to analyze the accumulation of structural variations in the genome from propagation of the same wild type worm isolates in different labs 🧬🪱#celegans
Latest preprint from the lab by postdoc @CahoonCori ! Her beautiful work identifies sex-specific differences in the composition of meiotic chromosome structure and how it regulates recombination in developing sperm and eggs. 🧬🔬 https://t.co/QI6wb0pzyM
Postdoc Alice Naftaly got a job! She starts a visiting assistant professor position at Pacific University next week! We celebrated her last day with peach cheesecake, pizza, and pink champagne. Congrats Alice!
Latest paper by postdoc @CahoonCori is out! Using the auxin degron system, she developed a method to reversibly immobilize male & hermaphrodite C. elegans as both adults & larva for live imaging. Movie is a germline in a living worm. #celegans#G3Journal https://t.co/yQPMhnoRvJ
Our latest paper by grad student @EToraason is out in @STARProtocols. It describes how to use our intersister/intrachromatid repair assay to induce a single DSB during meiosis and assess how the DSB was repaired (including conversion tracts) in C. elegans. https://t.co/ECtRvTG3T0
