The lab is hiring! We have a 4-year NSF funded postdoctoral position to move the needle on the molecular bases of seasonal rhythms/photoperiodism using the charismatic monarch butterfly as a model and cutting-edge approaches (CRISPR, scRNA-seq,...). Details below. Please 🔃

Great opportunity!
27 Jul 2022
My lab will soon be reruiting a postdoc to work on the molecular bases of seasonal rhythms/photoperiodism in monarchs. CRISPR mutants/Bulk RNA-seq/scRNA-seq/bioinformatics on the menu, among many other great things. Email me if interested cmerlin@bio.tamu.edu

@kedelmore is the FIRST faculty to win a NSF CAREER in the history of @TAMU_Biology 🥳🥰.
Please, join me in making some well-deserved noise about it @TAMU_CBCR, @TAMUScience, @TAMU and retweet!!
She is recruiting to work on really cool projects!

Why working on butterflies? Amazing creatures inspiring technological innovations. Awesome PBS NOVA documentary to be aired soon. Thankful that our lab was included! @TAMU @TAMUScience @TAMUBiology

Hot off the press 🥳! A study from our lab reveals that the monarch butterfly light sensitive Cryptochrome 1 - but not the mammalian-like Cryptochrome 2 - mediates light-dependent magnetosensing of the Earth's magnetic field inclination disq.us/t/3umqeo5

The Circadian #2021resolutions anyone can use.
* 8 h in bed
* Wait for >1 h before first calorie.
* Eat within a consistent window of 8-10 h; no longer than 12 h.
* >30min outdoor activity under daylight.
* No food, no bright light for 2 h before bedtime.
REPEAT.

Excited to share the latest story from the lab led by Ben Greenwell @b_gwell.
We looked at alternative polyadenylation (APA) in the context of #circadian rhythms, and found that rhythmic gene expression is largely APA isoform specific. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Based on these and other results, we next examined if genes could exhibit rhythms in relative 3’ UTR length.
Hundreds of genes show a rhythm in 3' UTR length with shorter 3' UTR at dusk, mostly b/c distal APA isoforms preferentially peak at dawn while others peak at dusk.

Finally, we investigated whether RBP motifs were enriched at the polyadenylation site of rhythmic APA isoforms. Of the 84 RBP motifs examined, almost half showed an enrichment that was rhythmic across the 24-day.

And the latest paper from the lab, led by grad student Sam Iiams, is out in PNAS! Right in time for Thanksgiving...

Please RT! We have a postdoc position available at my lab for studying the role of circRNA in aging. We have exciting results and look for strong candidates with knowledge of biochemistry and/or genetics and which are eager to learn about circular RNAs.
