FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBas…

Exciting science and networking at #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA in beautiful San Diego! Please check out the presentations from our lab on cell cycle control and the apical ECM during tubular irgan formation.

Plant genomes are complex, but naming them doesn’t have to be!
👉 Check out @AgBioData Genome Nomenclature Group's 'Guidelines on Genome & Gene Assembly Nomenclature' @GeneticsGSA doi.org/10.1093/genetics/iya…
As past chair of the group, I'm excited to see this work published 🧬

The first chapter of my PhD is now published in Genetics (@GeneticsGSA)
We use a WGS dataset of families to make a linkage map and infer LD recombination rates for the barn owl using unrelated individuals.
If you are into that here it is: academic.oup.com/genetics/ar…

Our work, which shows statistical issues with the previous claim of a severe ancient bottleneck in the ancestry of African populations, has been selected as a Featured article in @GeneticsGSA

Great work by @YunDeng5, co-advised by @ras_nielsen and me

Proud of my students who put together the genome and the manuscript!
This is the second publication from #AmericanCampusTreeGenome project (spearheaded by @aeharkess), and more are on the way!
The #G3journal December cover features the "mother tree" of all 'WA 38' apples. A relatively new apple cultivar produced as a cross between Enterprise & Honeycrisp, 'WA 38' was bred by Kate Evans & Bruce Barritt of the WSU Apple Breeding Program.

Amazing work led by @JoshIsaacson and @matthewberg22!
@FlyBehaviour & team generated #Drosophila strains where tRNAs mistranslate serine at either valine or threonine codons.
In #G3journal, explore how these mistranslations can have a negative or positive effect on lifespan depending on the sex of the fly: bit.ly/3A6q3ka

Our study of human MUTYH variants and their effect on germline mutagenesis is now out in @GeneticsGSA! Final version includes new DNM calling methodology, plus mouse evidence that MUTYH perturbs the germline through a maternal effect on embryogenesis. academic.oup.com/genetics/ad…
I’m excited to post our study of germline mutagenesis in a family affected by MUTYH-associated colorectal cancer, led by @candiceleilani and Annabel Beichman with lots of help from @shirtsbh and @jacobkitzman medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Turn down the pain, turn up the gain: Our new paper on peripheral pain targets is out @GeneticsGSA. Work by Zina Hamoudi and others @CPC_usyd @Sydney_Science
doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jk…
We tested 100s of potential targets and identified 23 new pain genes.

🔎 Spotted in @GeneticsGSA!
Researchers from @UMassBoston used DSHB's anti-DE-cadherin [DCAD2] mAb in a study on the functions of the Mnb/Reps/Rlip/Rala signaling network in organ growth and neurodevelopment.

This was a fun story to complete. Started with an idea while a postdoc in the @IsbergRalph during the first term of @BarackObama as a way to understand results from our experimental evolution of Lp. Several undergrads and talented SRA Urbanus later...
In a new #G3journal study, @legionella and colleagues used #AlphaFold2 protein modeling and missense-directed mutagenesis to identify important structural features in #yeast effectors—proteins that pathogens use to remodel and escape host immune defenses.
