Been waiting for this since 2022 GRC!

Proximity labeling reveals new insights into the relationships between meiotic recombination proteins in S. cerevisiae biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to hear it too!

Absence of chromosome axis proteins recruitment prevents meiotic recombination chromosome-wide in the budding yeast Lachancea kluyveri biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new paper from our lab came out online today. Led by newly minted PhD Alec Gaspary. Proud of Alec who crushed this and very happy with how the paper turned out. #meiosis4eva doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20…

A new role for Dna2 in meiosis!

Calendar marked!

Can we amplify RNA without reverse transcription to cDNA? Based on the finding that ssRNA template can be directly amplified by T7 in vitro transcription, we invented LAST-seq for RT-free single-cell RNA sequencing, offering a high capture efficiency.

The passing of a pioneer.

I encourage every student to read Jim Haber’s (⁦⁦Jim Haber⁩ ) 101 years ago: Hermann Muller's remarkable insight | Genetics | Oxford Academic. academic.oup.com/genetics/artic…

Last werkend my lab alumni gathered to celebrate 50 years at Brandeis and 80 years on earth.

We're now less than a year away from the 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Meiosis!
Jun 2-7, Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH. Needhi Bhalla (Needhi Bhalla 💅🏽) and I are working on the program. #Meiosis2024

Vending machine, PhD

Hooray! Soon appearing in an SK1 strain near you!

Congratulations to our colleague andre nussenzweig lab to his election to the National Academy of Sciences for his exceptional work on DNA repair over more than two decades NCI Center for Cancer Research.

Of interest.

The #MAYosis2023 program has been finalized and is available at meiosis.cornell.edu/mayosis2023/in…
We have an amazing line-up of speakers, so please register and join us for the first session on May 4th!

Thanks to a renewal of our NIH grant, Jim Haber’s lab has an opening for a postdoc to work on the fidelity of DNA repair in budding yeast. Experience in genetics and molecular biology, but not necessarily in yeast, is required. Brandeis is in Boston MA suburbs. [email protected]

Check out this work driven by the awesome Rishi Nageshan. Entangled telomeres? Expose them to the cytoplasm asap to resolve those entanglements…

Pls RT: Fully funded PhD studentship open for applications. Closes 13th April. #meiosis #recombination #yeast #genomics #molecular #biology #DSB #chromosome #PhD
