Lots of new developments in the lab this Summer:
- Gauri is starting her PhD at UT Southwestern's Basic Biomedical Sciences Program - "good show!" and not a good-bye - we'll keep in touch (and the polyamine story is still work-in-progress we are very excited to see to completion in the coming months)
- Wan Song joined the lab as postdoctoral associate, Ashley Miller as a graduate student (via Neuroscience PhD program), and Marzieh Rouzbehani as a student volunteer - welcome aboard! (update to "People" section is pending...)
- Ashley attended a workshop on Molecular Biology hosted by New England Biolabs at Smith College, MA, and Dustin traveled to Italy to learn much-needed bioinformatic skills at Bologna Summer School of Genome Regulation (with a mandatory detour to Rome, of course).
- Dustin, Amina and Cameron lead the effort on a massive review entitled "Aere perennius: how chromatin fidelity is maintained and lost in disease" - now published in NAR Molecular Medicine. We learned a lot writing it!
- Same crew characterized a massive RNA-Seq dataset I generated a few years ago: how do genes change expression when mouse embryonic stem cells are subjected to 2i conversion, and what role does Polycomb play in it? Now published in Data in Brief!
