Congratulations to former Burgess lab BioGAP student Aliyah Penn for her admissions to Johns Hopkins PhD program AND an NSF GRSF Fellowship!
Carla is in @Juliano_Lab for a postbacc with PREP@UCD and Aliyah worked with @smburgessucd a few summers ago. We are so proud of them!

Ok, this happened literally 10 minutes after the PNAS paper was published! The latest latest from from our lab in Genetics describes synergistic roles between the nuclear pore complex and the LINC complex in meiosis. academic.oup.com/genetics/ad… @UCDavisResearch

Just hit the "final submit" button for two papers today. Both represent many years of work and several rounds of review. What are the chances of that? Stay tuned for the announcements...Thank you to all Burgess Lab members for the hard work.

Using a strain of mutant mice, Sloan Kettering Institute researchers discovered new info about how genetic mutations occur during meiosis. This could help them understand more about how miscarriages and genetic diseases occur. @Spo11Rulz @CellPressNews bit.ly/3cqPrlg
