We (Biology, Statistics and Health Science Center of Texas A&M University)are hosting a symposium on ‘Cancer: Basic Science to Bioinformatics’. Free registration @ https:/iamcs.tamu.edu/4th-annual-bioinformatics-symposium/. With Sendurai Mani Taru Muranen 🇺🇦 @irtisha_singh

Calling all students, postdocs and junior researchers interested in both evolution and molecular mechanisms! Do look at the schedule and register for the SMBE regional meeting in India this December in Dehradun organized by Shraddha Karve and myself. ashoka.edu.in/event/molecula…

Delighted to see what I consider to be the lab's most integrative paper in about a decade: behavior, state-of-the-art reference genome, CRISPR and eye opsin immunohistochemistry. Great job Mahul Chakraborty J.J. Emerson Angelica Lara, Andy Dang + collabs! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Ever wondered how a complex, sex-specific trait like UV color vision arises? I,Adriana Darielle Mejía Briscoe, J.J. Emerson & others discovered that all you need is a gene moving to a female Heliconius W chromosome. Find more here pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… nytimes.com/2023/08/18/sci… TAMU Biology

Very excited to finally share our latest preprint, the results of my postdoc research regarding centromere evolution and genetic conflict in Drosophila. Another amazing collaboration between Amanda Larracuente and Barbara Mellone 1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚀PSLV-C57/🛰️Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun ☀️, is scheduled for 🗓️September 2, 2023, at 🕛11:50 Hrs. IST from Sriharikota. Citizens are invited to witness the launch from the Launch View Gallery at

Its out in the world and I am so excited!! This was my pandemic baby in collaboration with Robert Kofler eric lai Jeffrey Vedanayagam Bernard Kim FilipWierzbicki journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

We're Hiring! TAMU Biology is hiring two tenure-track Assistant Professors in the area of neurobiology, learn more here: apply.interfolio.com/130001

6th Annual ‘Cancer Research: Basic Science to Bioinformatics’ symposium @ Texas A&M University, 2023

Had a lot of fun. Thanks, Kira Delmore and the postdocs, for putting it together

🚨 I'm excited to share that I’m recruiting my first Ph.D. student to work with me starting fall of 2024🚨 If you’re interested in studying educator stress, sleep & well-being from an interdisciplinary approach, please reach out/DM. Funding is available! Retweets appreciated!

Happy to see my PhD student tay's first first-author paper out! She found that darters use chemical cues to identify conspecifics. "Male recognition of conspecific female chemical cues in a diverse clade of freshwater fishes" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…

when you're surrounded by awesome colleagues....TAMU Biology

Excited to share AnnoSINE_v2 that can annotate SINEs in large plant and animal genomes! Available via bioconda: anaconda.org/bioconda/annos…

Searching for something new to listen to? May I recommend the newest Blue Genes & Boots episode featuring Adam Phillippy? Listen to Serina DeSalvio, myself, and Dr. Phillippy chat about bioinformatics, genomes, and society! 🧬🎧

On my way to #TAGC24. Excited to meet all the colleagues and chat science. Our lab has multiple presentations on Drosophila pangenomes and their utility in evolutionary genomics & trait mapping. Also, we're hiring at all levels!

Excited to share our findings on highly repetitive tandem arrays in Drosophila! Our new genome assemblies provide insights into Histone, rDNA, and Stellate clusters. Check out our preprint for more. Plus, we've improved the melanogaster reference genome. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is our latest foray into studying genetic variation in challenging parts of the genome that nevertheless encode important genes. We're very interested in what everyone thinks. 1/n

We're recruiting a postdoc. Lab works on diverse topics related to genetic variation. More here: chakrabortylab.org/research/ Competitive salary & strong support for trainee’s career growth!Informal inquiries are welcome. chakrabortylab.org/join-us/ #Genetics #Postdoc #ResearchOpportunity
