Congratulations!

Super cool

My lab is looking for a postdoc (possibly two). We are interested in evolution, ecology, cell physiology. We do experiments and theory/modeling. If you or somebody you know is interested and has an appropriate background, please reach out. Please RT. sklab.science/opportunities

How does variable expressivity arise at the genetic level? Here, we examine how many genetic polymorphisms collectively cause the same mutation to show a spectrum of effects, from lethal to benign, across genetically diverse individuals. Genetics Society of America academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…

I find animations useful to teach metrics to undergrads. I believe it improves understanding to see what goes on. Here is a thread with my favorite GIFs, most of them are re-makes of stuff from #EconTwitter.

Excited to share our latest study of phased polyploid genomes providing deeper insight into the multiple origins of domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae beer yeasts in Current Biology - Institut universitaire de France (IUF) - European Research Council (ERC) cell.com/current-biolog…

"I know it can be really overwhelming figuring out who to be, and when. Who you are now and how to act in order to get where you want to go. I have some good news: it’s totally up to you. I also have some terrifying news: it’s totally up to you." - Taylor Swift

Beautiful work. Congrats Naomi Ziv

A fitting finale to Grace Avecilla PhD at #NYU. Publication in #PLOSBiology of her amazing research on the very day she departs for her next adventure. Neural networks enable efficient and accurate simulation-based inference of evolutionary parameters dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Guy ( Guy ) posts the lab's 1st completely de novo preprint, a very nice story about how bacteria become immune to bacteriophage if you tickle them!

Learn all about the NYU Biology PhD Program at our online Open House on Tuesday, October 11. We’re excited to tell you about the department, the PhD program, and the admissions process. as.nyu.edu/biology/events…

Our paper on the mysterious flip/flop inversion polymorphism in Saccharomyces species -- It's old but it's young! Congratulations Letal, and thanks PLOS Genetics for efficient handling. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Its #TransposonThursday! Sharing our newest preprint on context dependent mechanisms by which cancer cells co-evolve with retrotransposons (LINE1 and SINEs) to mitigate viral mimicry. A #TeamScience effort led by our postdoc Siyu Sun The Halvorsen Center for Computational Oncology 👇👇👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New @bioRxiv preprint! tinyurl.com/mr4yxsxb Ying Xie found that polysome collapse & mRNA condensation fluidizes the cytoplasm. This helps assembly of another membraneless stress organelle: Q-bodies! P-bodies and SGs tune the physical properties of the cytoplasm! RT plz!

Exciting work Ying Xie and Liam Holt Congrats.

Yeast folks, after a fun #TAGC24 meeting with yeast sessions, more fun to come with the 32nd International Conference on Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology. It will take place in Paris from July 21 to 24, 2025. Save the dates!
