I use fission yeast to study selfish genes during meiosis to learn more about possible causes of infertility. Opinions are mine not my employer’s

Really excited about our latest preprint on dominance of nonsynonymous deleterious mutations in humans. Chris's thread provides an excellent summary of the work!

Preprint🚨on a new mechanism of genetic cheating in meiosis! 🧬We found that a mouse selfish DNA, R2d2, combines the elements of both male and female meiotic drivers! (gamete sabotaging in female meiosis)

I had a lot of fun working on this story and I'm pleased to see it now published. A pleasure as always to work with @TheRogLab and congrats to undergrad Jesus on his first publication 🎉
See quoted tweet for a link to the paper and a taste of our findings 🙂
Proud to have out this paper at @PNASNews from @LisaKursel and Jesus on the synaptonemal complex in C. elegans. It includes what is probably the most beautiful genetic data I was ever involved in analyzing - check it out! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Excited to see our latest collaboration with @DrinnenbergLab and @leonidmirny lab looking at interphase genome organization in Bombyx online now!
Freshly posted on bioRxiv, our @ScienceLeah collaborative work with the Drinnenberg and Mirny labs characterizes unique compartment S (Secluded) in the holocentric silkworm moth biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Twitter may be dying, but the Starr lab is coming to life! We put out the first preprint from the lab @UofUBiochem, where we performed deep mutational scans on the SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 and XBB.1.5 variant RBDs 🧵 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/abst…

A fantastic #WednesdayLectureSeries, on a Tuesday! Thank you to @tylernstarr, from @UofUBiochem, for joining us for a presentation titled "Molecular evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and related bat coronaviruses". Hosted by @StowersGrad!

Very happy to finally be able to share our work at @NAR_Open! We aimed to answer the question: why does the well-known transcriptional activator Swi-Snf seem to repress genes involved in metabolism?
Thanks to @jerryleeworkman and all at @ScienceStowers
