Penn's Department of Genetics has several new tenure-track assistant professor openings. Please help spread the word! apply.interfolio.com/147616

1/9 We show that Human ribosomes have different rRNA sequences, predominantly indels. These include abundant variants such as GGC indels, which form different structures. We visualize variants in single cells and associate them with development and cancer. doi.org/10.1016/j.xgen…

Congratulations to the lab's three summer undergraduates on their wonderful research presentations today! It was a joy working with Hunter, Angel, and Zarah this summer, and I look forward to seeing more awesome science from them in the future!

If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research. You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.

The Nelson Lab celebrated our 1st birthday today! It's been a year of lots of change and growth. I'm excited about our team and look forward to seeing all that we accomplish in year 2!

Since when did the @flystocks site have flies crawling around it?!?

Heterochromatin (HC) is a highly conserved nuclear domain that plays critical functions in genome stability across eukaryotes. Yet, our recent study in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds the underlying protein component of HC to be rapidly evolving! (1/5) academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…

Excited to share a new preprint! (1)🔬The nucleolus is the most prominent nuclear condensate, with a fascinating multilayered liquid-like structure, and is the site of ribosome biogenesis. But how does this multiphase architecture form and function? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A huge congratulations to our outstanding faculty members celebrated at this year's Investiture Ceremony at Stony Brook University! Their newly endowed positions highlight their commitment to excellence and our generous donors who make this recognition possible.
