Chromosomes in Action

[Erik Toraason @EToraason]

The last of my graduate work with @DianaLibuda is out in @eLife! We show that BRCA1 and SMC-5/6 regulate DNA break repair pathway engagement in C. elegans meiosis, but are not required for intersister repair. A fun "crossover" collab with @TheRogLab! https://t.co/9rhlPENhrW

In their Review, Iván Olaya, @smburgessucd @BurgessLab and Ofer Rog @TheRogLab discuss the formation and resolution of meiotic chromosome entanglements and interlocks.

We are pleased to report the publication of our review on the formation and resolution of meiotic chromosome entanglements and interlocks. It was a pleasure to work with Ofer Rog @TheRogLab and Iván Olaya @meiocyte_Ivan on this project.

We’d love to get feedback and suggestions. Kudos to Kewei, an amazing grad student who developed CheC-PLS over the last 5 years; to Chloe and @lexy_von_diez (now with her own lab, new-car-smell and all, at UMinnesota); and to @LisaKursel and a super-talented undergrad, Kaan.

Three (3) new pre-prints from the lab! Very proud of this work that spans approaches and model organisms, and highlights the many approaches the lab undertakes.

So Skp1 has been moonlighting for >100 million years. Which adds a new twist to the SC paradox: how does a highly conserved protein (Skp1) maintains intimate interaction with quickly diverging proteins in a way that does not leave a clear evolutionary mark in their sequence?
