There are over 10,000 species of reptile but no reports of gene editing in any of these species - until now! @arasys2 has successfully made gene knockouts in the brown anole lizard, Anolis sagrei! Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Also, our department @uga_genetics is searching for a TT AP in Human Genetics. It is a broad search in any research direction. Review of applications will begin on 11/20/2024. If you want to chat about this opportunity or our department, reach out to me #ASHG24 @GeneticsSociety
31 Oct 2024
We will be at #ASHG24 next week. Multiple students from the lab will be presenting their research. Look forward to it!

Absolutely in love with this lyrically thoughtful piece from @UCSDCooperLab. I, for one, will happily say yes to her invitation to “join me in reading more books.” How else to embrace the marvelous complexity of life around us? Well done, Kim! journals.biologists.com/dev/…

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in @Naturepub. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by @mcliupeng. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. 🧵

Interested in early #embryogenesis?
Do you like reptiles?
We have a position open for a M.Sc. student to investigate early development in the brown anole.

"Middle-class science" – a good term for something that is fading. The phrase was used by David Glanzman (UCLA, @dglanzman) at a conference this year.
Middle-class science is work on a medium-sized, single-lab scale – not a huge collaboration, not a shoestring operation... 1/

How do enhancers work over distances that sometimes exceed megabases? Excited to share our work led by @gracecbower where we uncover a unique sequence signature globally associated with long-range enhancer-promoter interactions in developing limb buds: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/
