Hello World! We are not quite out of the woodwork with this one, but really proud of @JorisM7 1st/1st author paper in our lab #MolaroLab. Joris uncovered crazy signatures of functional diversification in mammalian Schlafen genes. 1/n https://t.co/w47n5IEphH

SCHLAFEN proteins are a large family of RNase-related enzymes carrying essential immune and developmental functions. Despite these important roles, Schlafen genes display varying degrees of evoluti...

Delighted to see this out. Thanks to @wellcometrust for funding this during my time with @dsboothacosta and @RobKlose and to all collaborators/authors. The final version retains the same story as the preprint with an expanded TE analysis by @deMendoza_Alex
Very proud to share my first choanoflagellate paper with the world! This paper takes the first steps in understanding gene regulation and chromatin in choanoflagellates and sets the stage for my labs work! Some key points below! (1/6) https://t.co/fHR4f4qNiP

So excited to see the first part of my thesis work with @HarmitMalik and @MelodyGCampbell in print! We have a bit of evolution and a whole lotta structure to figure out how new protein domains work, you can read it at
science.org
An ancient protein domain insertion seamlessly preserved conformational signaling while providing a novel surface for adaptation.

Thanks, @NEDHHS and https://t.co/shYrTtSHbB members! We are excited to take our tools and fundamental mechanistic insights on chromatin regulation to the next level and apply them directly to address critical knowledge gaps in cancer biology. @UNMC_GCBA @CHRI_ResearchNE
brahmalab.org
Laboratory of Dr. Sandipan Brahma at University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). The Lab studies mechanisms of chromatin regulation and dynamics in the contexts of cellular development and diseases.
🧬 Congrats to @BrahmaComplex on receiving the @NEDHHS Stem Cell Research Award ($105K)! His team's novel genomics method could unlock critical insights into how aggressive pediatric brain tumors develop during embryonic neural formation. #PediatricCancer #GenomicsResearch

Happy birthday to @bradmehldau and Bobby Watson! 1989 was a pivotal year. I graduated from CAPA in Philly, moved to NYC to start my life at Juilliard, then got summoned by Bobby Watson to make a gig with him at Birdland. It started my life as a jazz musician in the Big Apple.

WOoo! Hot pre-print alert! 🔥 Our new story shows that neuronal oversight of germline small RNAs prevents sterility & allows lab-domesticated C. elegans to reproduce when temperatures rise. This picture shows how neuronal small RNAs rescue the germline from being messed up (1/2)
