Huge congrats [email protected] !!!
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/…
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…
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
