Beyond excited to welcome the Mitchell Lab (back) to Seattle! Seattle MCB Program, an awesome opportunity to study immune system evolution with a caring, creative mentor.

Very excited to announce up to 3 open faculty positions @PNRIseattle! An interdisciplinary, research-focused, supportive, and fun place to start a lab in the amazing Seattle science ecosystem. Please retweet and DM with questions. #evolution #Genomics #academicjobs Seattle MCB Program

An awesome postdoc opportunity with an amazing scientist and mentor (to me and her trainees). If you are interested in the genetics of resiliency and susceptibility to stress, this is an exciting place to train. Maybe a 4th floor collab on TEs/behavior? @PNRIseattle Seattle MCB Program

Happy Transposon Day 2022! Today is the 120th birthday of Barbara McClintock, founder of the #transposon field and Nobel laureate. Please celebrate with us by using the hashtag #TransposonDay2022. How has Barbara McClintock or her work influenced you? mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com

💥Our new paper just out Science Magazine! Antiviral activity of a human protein of retroviral origin A study led fearlessly by John Frank We propose that the human genome encodes a deep pool of antiviral proteins derived from retroviruses! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Super excited and thankful to finally see my graduate work out in the wild. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… We wanted to know if ancient viral protein-coding sequences that are embedded within our genomes can protect us from infection by circulating viruses. (1/8)

Representing MCB at SACNAS. Come say hello and learn more about our program #SACNAS2022

#SACNAS2022 Interested in a fully funded postdoc opportunity in Seattle studying genome evolution and host-pathogen interactions? DM us to find a time to learn more about our research. SACNAS Pacific Northwest Research Institute

The Harmit S. Malik Lab celebrates its 20th anniversary! Friends and colleagues traveled from all over to mark the occasion. It’s been wonderful seeing so many familiar faces and hearing about all their accomplishments!

Say hello and welcome to MCB cohort 2023-2024!

And Ricky Padilla Del Valle from the The McLaughlin Lab lab just delivered a “hot” presentation of “hot” and active L1 retrotransposition control at post transcriptional level by APOBECs and TEX proteins #EMBOMobileGenome
