In antigenic variation in Lyme disease the vlsE surface protein gene is repeatedly changed by recombination with 15 adjacent pseudogenes. We tried to stimulate this in culture by cutting with Cas9. Mais non! Breaks cause loss of the immunity plasmid. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The 52nd Rosenstiel Award goes to two excepetional women: Erin Schuman and Christine Holt for their discoveries of the mechanisms of local protein translation that enables a neuron to get from the eye to the brain. brandeis.edu/now/2022/octobe…

So suddenly I find myself looking for a new postdoc to work on double-strand break repair in yeast: mutations arising during gene editing and other types of DNA repair. Applicants should send a CV and cover letter to Jim Haber (haber@brandeis.edu).
Please retweet!

An outrageous > 6-month delay by the USCIS in approving a waiver for my postdoc to remain in the US has led to her departure from my lab – she was not allowed to work or draw a salary while the wheels of bureaucracy ground on. What a mess! So now...

Still looking for a postdoc to work on how mitochondria repair their DNA damage and carry out recombination without using the genes that are needed for repairing/recombining chromosomes in the nucleus. Please retweet!

Postdoc opportunity. James Haber lab. Brandeis University.
Supported by a new NSF EAGER grant, to study DNA repair in budding yeast mitochondria. Surprisingly little is known.
