Congrats to our newest Genetics PhD, Dr. Felicia Ebot-Ojong! Here Felicia is with her advisor Dr. Zack Lewis @UgaChromatinLab Felicia will start a position at the Van Andel Institue @VAInstitute with Dr. Peter Laird @peterwlaird We are proud of you Dr. Ebot-Ojong!

have you ever gazed out at some fungus and wondered what else could be in there?✨ Check out our new @TrendsGenetics review on fungal #Starships 101: what we know so far and where we think the field is headed. Great job Andrew and @Hulk_Vogan 🍄🚀 authors.elsevier.com/a/1jnz5cQbJBL8h

@realDonaldTrump Yeah. I’m gonna vote for Harris.

The Lewis Lab at UGA is searching for a research technician to support two NIH-funded projects. You can learn about our work at lewislab.uga.edu. Apply here: ugajobsearch.com/postings/391610

Our latest paper on adenine and cytosine methylation in Mucoral fungi just appeared in @NatureComms. This is a collaboration between us, Victor Garre’s group at U Murcia (Spain), @jgi and many other amazing colleagues. nature.com/articles/s4146…

We need antibodies to a Neurospora protein. Can anyone recommend an affordable peptide synthesis/antibody production service?

Do fungal Starships 🚀 matter for human health? We dive into the pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus and connect the dots between these unusual transposons and strain variability. Spoiler alert: biofilms, secondary metabolites and intra-strain variation, oh my! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

UNRAVELLING THE MYSTERIES OF HETEROCHROMATIN! Ever wonder how silenced heterochromatin domains are stably propagated? This article describes the conserved principles by which modified histones and HP1 condensates promote self-propagation of heterochromatin authors.elsevier.com/a/1h5x43vVUPNx…
