We’ve been calling RecA730 “constitutively active”… but what does that really mean? In our new @repair_dna @Sciencedirect paper, we show: SOS is induced without damage, but not fully ON in lexA⁺. It’s not ON vs OFF… but how ON it is! Read more here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

For all DNA repair and mutagenesis enthusiasts: the 7th edition of Fundamental Aspects of DNA Repair and Mutagenesis (VII FARM-DNA) is coming!🧬🛠
Registrations are open until July 31! To register and submit your abstract, visit: farmdna2025.com.br/
See you there! 😉
Ever read a drug label and checked its mechanism of action? That’s basic research! And without government funding for this science, there are no safe and effective medicines for your illness. Cutting funding means cutting treatments.

My lab at UVA is looking to hire a Postdoc to study mechanisms of DNA repair in chromatin using biochemical, biophysical, and structural biology approaches!
Feel free to share with anyone you think may be interested.

Excited to share our new publication in @repair_dna @Elsevier_Sci! We reveal the roles of Polɩ & Polκ in TMZ resistance in MGMT-deficient glioblastoma. Targeting these enzymes may boost TMZ's effectiveness.
Huge thanks to Dr. Menck & @WoodgateLab for their support!!

Introducing Chromo, our new package for performing differential analysis in chromosome regions. Chromo works with any type of quantitative data, including RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, and more. It will be available soon
Corrigindo: pra carreira em São Paulo. Ainda esperamos que as agências federais possam acompanhar o passo, bem como as questões salariais pra professores em federais e estaduais! Pq não adianta nada melhorar o salário de pós doc, se o passo seguinte como professor não acompanha..
A agência de financiamento a pesquisa de São Paulo (FAPESP) anunciou um reajuste de até 45% nas bolsas. Mas não é só isso, agora quem tiver doutorado concluído e bolsa FAPESP vai ter também ressarcimento de previdência social! Que mudança importante para a carreira no Brasil ❤️

Writing the discussion section of your paper
ALT Annotated parts of the discussion section: big summary/ importance statement for the science, scientific findings as extension of previous work, findings' scientific implications, how this engineering will facilitate future research, forward-looking statements about the field as a whole, a summary/importance of the engineering aspect of the work, how it facilitates scientific research, limitations of the platform show which questions would be unanswered, how it will facilitated medical research.
Kicking off the GRC Mutagenesis meeting today in Waterville Valley. Looking forward to insightful discussions and new connections. 😊
