We know you want to dip your toes into helicase biochemistry, so here's a short primer on how to get started: authors.elsevier.com/a/1et-0HRzCMNLB

We were just awarded an NIH S10 grant to buy a LUMICKS C-Trap! Thanks to the Aoki, Bell, Julia van Kessel, Dalia, Niu, Schlebach, Takagi, Wang, and Zlotnick labs at Indiana University for their help putting the application together.

Congratulations to grad student Kait Taylor who was awarded a John R. and Wendy L. Kindig Fellowship for 2023 at IU Bloomington!

We've got a team from @refeynit demonstrating the Refeyn TwoMP mass photometer in lab today. Every biochemist should have one of these. #truth

Undergraduate researcher Morgan Roush was awarded an NIH Administrative Supplement to Support Undergraduate Summer Research Experiences! #booyah

Undergrad David Sun was awarded an IU Bloomington Engaged Learning Travel Grant to attend the FASEB Helicase Meeting this summer. #HNASRC cvent.me/ED8rGV?sms=2

Recently graduated IU Biotechnology MS student (and soon to be Genome Cell and Developmental Biology PhD student) Noof Alsulaiti was awarded a full scholarship from the UAE to fund her dissertation work!

Does anyone have problems folding oligos into G4 structures when using near-IR labels from IDT?

Wow, today is the 10th anniversary of the lab! Time flies when you're sciencing.

Congrats to Matt Bochman for winning the Ostrom Workshop Food and Agrarian Systems Natural Sciences Research Impact Award for the lab's work on fermentation science. #yeast

More good news: the NIH funded Matt Bochman's equipment supplement application, and we're getting a @refeynit mass photometer! #booyah

Pumpkin carving in collaboration with Julia van Kessel's lab. The black cat carved by Biochem rotation student Kennadi Shumaker was voted 1st prize by my kids.

We've got a new preprint up on bioRxiv demonstrating dynamic DNA binding by Cdc13. Check it out here (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) or listen to an audio summary on ScienceCast (sciencecast.org/casts/ed7asrk2…). #yeast

We're happy to officially welcome new PhD students Noof Alsulaiti and Kennadi Shumaker to the Bochman Lab!

Many thanks to the IU Institute for Advanced Study for giving us some funding to work with Brian Calvi and @laggingstrand this year.

Kennadi ! and BochmanLab present in vivo and in vitro analyses of N-terminal domains-truncated isoform of Hrq1. Learn more in #G3journal how understanding this #yeast Hrq1 helicase alleles will help explain why the mutations cause disease in humans. buff.ly/XJLDyoO

Remember not getting a Teddy Ruxpin as a child and realizing that your parents hate you?
