Huge congrats [email protected] !!!

1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

The bipartite centromere, what a journey! A cool discovery & a fun collaboration with Bill Earnshaw's lab & Tatsuo Fukagawa, led by Carlos & Kumiko! We found that centromeres organize into multiple domains, which independently attach microtubules. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Read our new nature paper on 'Complete sequencing & comparative analysis of ape sex chromosomes'. Bonobo, chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, and siamang #Xchr & #Ychr are now telomere-to-telomere (#T2T)! A collaboration of the #T2T_Primates_Consortium. 🦧🦍nature.com/articles/s4158…

A gentle reminder that there is less than 1 month to register for the centromere biology GRS & GRC! The GRS is almost (!) fully subscribed so get your applications in ASAP if you wish to present a poster. We have a great lineup of speakers and mentors so don’t miss out!

The first Rosin lab paper it out now in PLOS Genetics! Feat. postbacs Clio Hockens and Tricia Wang Tricia Wang and wrapping up my work with The Lei Team Chr. seg. during spermatogenesis occurs through a center-kinetic mechanism in holocentric moths rb.gy/ts9u64

Time Capsule Tales At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic one of the greatest moments happened. The top 2 final high jumpers became tie and agreed to share the gold medal

Congratulations Kabeche Lab (ASCB Award for Excellence in Research by an HEP) and CampelloneLab (MBoC paper of the year!) 💪🔥🎉

Notified of Paper-of-the-Year award on August 1 at 854am, delivers baby boy at 457pm: that's Virginia Lyle King

From MBoC The factors that nucleate actin assembly are not well understood at the organismal level or in the context of disease. CampelloneLab examined how Whamm inactivation impacts kidney physiology and cellular proteostasis. doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E2…

Some scientists are more creative than others, but teaching creativity in science education can break the process down and inspire creativity in the next generation of scientists. What a terrific initiative.

The NoA for my R24 grant with Stuart Newfeld is here! We are generating reagents for the Drosophila 4th chromosome including CRISPR mutants, RNAi lines, and over-expression constructs of both fly genes and human orthologs. Below is a 1944 drawing of the 4th by B.M. Slizynski.

A new, improved histone modification toolkit published from Duronio Lab in #GENETICS will help #Drosophila biologists apply forward genetic screening to study how modified #histones regulate transcription, chromatin structure, and replication.  Read more: bit.ly/4dbP2kp
