It's been a busy work for the lab. Thomas (holding 🍾) passed his @UWMadisonMDTP qualifying exam with aplomb. Very excited to see him tackle his project as a dissertator. Congrats Thomas.

Finally a gift to rival the ceremonial swords given by some unis

@anqigao thank you for coming!! 💚

[UW-Madison CMB @CMB_UWMadison]

Congratulations to CMB student, Rodrigo Ibarra, whose presentation won 1st place at the Fulbright Seminar in Boston!

[Rachel Cueny @rachel_cueny]

Thrilled to share that our review on bacterial G-quadruplexes is now online! Thankful for my lab mate and friend @SarahMcMillan05 who wrote this review with me! https://t.co/t54lt9NUiM

Influenza A virus undergoes compartmentalized replication in vivo dominated by stochastic bottlenecks

New preprint📢 We created *really* diverse libraries of barcoded #influenza viruses & used them to track viruses in hosts. We found multiple narrow within-host bottlenecks → genetically distinct "islands" of infection in a single host. Check it out⬇️ https://t.co/iPm71xZ0Rh

[Mehle Lab @MehleLab]

What factors shape evolution of influenza virus within an individual? Happy to share our collaborative work led by @kaaamato with Luis and Kat and @tcflab, @SSCLabQuips, and @KoelleLab that shows genetic bottlenecks restrain intrahost influenza virus evolution. 1/10

[Baker Lab @BakerLabLBRI]

Hello world! The Baker Lab is opening in mid October, 2021 at @LovelaceBio in ABQ, NM. Excited to keep serving up research on influenza, host-switch, and alternative RNA splicing. Actively recruiting an experienced technician & postdoc: https://t.co/KWro4caZVK

[Mehle Lab @MehleLab]

Excited for the lab to present our latest at #ASV2021. intra-host transmission dynamics by @kaaamato W13-7; and host factors by @BakerVirusMaker W34-6, @GraceSchaack W34-8, @casonthemason W34-9.

New work led by @BakerVirusMaker: What happens when host cells dual purpose critical genes with cryptic antiviral function? Viruses are forced to “choose” between two bad options – suffer the antagonism or attack the essential gene and limit resources to make progeny. 👇🧵1/7

[Katarina Braun, MD, PhD @KATarinambraun]

So excited it's finally in print!
We worked hard to characterize patterns of #SARSCoV2 transmission in Wisconsin this past spring.
Check out what we found here⬇️

Fantastic news for a fantastic scientist, mentor and leader with vision @doudna_lab. An amazing pair.

We want to reach even more early-college and high school students to let them know about programs and careers in #research and #medicine. Let us know how we can connect! #diversityinSTEM #IndigenousInSTEM #BlackInSTEM #LatinosInSTEM #LGBTQInSTEM

Our paper is now live at PLOS Pathogens. Several new polymerase structures came out since we submitted, and we were happy include these and discuss the potential impact of phosphorylation, especially on template exit channel formation. https://t.co/yxHwKjdoRm

[Mehle Lab @MehleLab]

Excited for our paper on influenza virus and IFIT2 now at @NatureMicrobiol : A mystery in 3 parts where things aren’t always what they seem. It has something for everyone, with CRISPR screens, CLIP-Seq, ribosome profiling, and ribosome pausing. 1/n

We have been working hard to characterize #SARSCoV2 in #Wisconsin, USA. Our work is being peer reviewed now, but our preprint is available here: https://t.co/pnCmjLLyrT
Here is what we have learned about #SARSCoV2 in WI:
