Hey #Xenopus enthusiasts, my lab at Pitt is looking to recruit a Ph.D. student through our Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program to continue our work on how allotetraploidy has shaped gene expression during early development! Please spread the word! @frogwranglers

Background and/or interest in evolution/evo-devo, high-throughput genomics/transcriptomics, and of course frogs are all pluses! Interested folks can get in touch directly, miler [at] pitt dot edu and refer to biology.pitt.edu/graduate/ho…

We also have a lot of other interests in gene regulation and early embryogenesis that lean more toward the molecular side and other taxa (zebrafish, cnidarians, ...), so we're also recruiting Ph.D. students through our rotation-based Molecular, Genetics, Cell, & Dev Program!

There have been some exciting new papers using anti-phage genes to discover new eukaryotic immune defenses... and vice versa! 🤯 These cross-kingdom evolutionary links are super cool. Check out our new Preview for an overview: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jlOA…

So excited and proud to present @matthurton 's Masterwork! For #MZT nerds: #zebrafish enhancers epigenetically bookmarked from gametes do not need pioneer TFs! For #chromatin nerds: H3K4me2 selectively marks those gamete-inherited enhancers, pioneered enhancers only have H3K4me1!
H3K4me2 distinguishes a distinct class of enhancers during the maternal-to-zygotic transition biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_devbio
