So excited to share this preprint from the Rosin lab (lead by postdoc @BennerLeif with help from @lingszelee) in collaboration with the Hawley lab and @EelcoTromer on moth spermatogenesis! Want to know how sperm without DNA are made on purpose? Read on!

Antibiotic resistance isn't just a genetic problem; it's ecological. Research from #HHMIInvestigator Harmit Malik & co shows that when a bacterium shares space w/ fungi, it can be pushed toward resistance it wouldn't develop alone — but w/ a built-in weakness bit.ly/4g1jLnZ

Students, postdocs, and faculty: Exciting funding opportunities are on the horizon from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
This fall, HHMI will launch programs supporting:
- Faculty with up to $10M over 10 years, which includes salary, benefits, and research support.
- Postdocs with up to 2 years of salary and research support, facilitating a transition to independent funding.
- PhD students with a $50,000 annual stipend for up to 3 years, along with additional institutional and postdoctoral funding opportunities.

New paper from the Rosin lab in collaboration with the Hawley lab 🎉
Spearheaded by postdoc Leif Benner @BennerLeif and wonderful Hawley lab members - We use imaging and RNA-seq to better understand apyrene meiosis in silkworms.

It's May, which means more brilliant butterflies and moths to look out for! 🌷🦋
Butterflies need wilder parks and gardens. Will you promise to let your lawn grow long for butterflies this summer?

Our revised manuscript explains how Guo et al. concluded PRC2 is not an RNA binding protein. They retained unmappable reads, selectively removed read duplicates from the mappable fraction, and applied an arbitrary cutoff for PRC2 enrichment in RNA.

Cohesin is essential for maintaining structural loops but less so for regulatory loops and transcription. Is cohesin actually required for the establishment of loops and transcriptional activation?🧵bit.ly/4hXremH

New lab preprint! We did a giant genetic screen for factors that help cells to divide into more than 2 (as can occur in cancer). Our top hit is an unnamed fly gene that has a human counterpart which is targeted by an FDA-approved drug for epilepsy. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

People need to know that NIH grants are the backbone of American biology and thus of our biotech industry. I took a moment away from doing science to talk about how science gets done with @ojaldridge with @KUTNews about recent IDC rate cuts.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of an esteemed colleague, friend, mentor & a pioneer in Drosophila & meiosis research.
R. Scott Hawley was a dedicated supporter of GSA & a champion of genetics.
