The #ICE2024 conference in Japan has been so inspirational. It’s amazing to see so many elementary, jr, highschool presenters. Here’s Jo Nagai, 5th grader, by his poster on learned inheritance. He told me he next wants to do epigenetics/CRISPR on his butterflies! International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Instead of "publish" or "pre-print" we could say "release"

CRISPR-Cas on the transition from providing sequence-specific adaptive immunity to being a tool for genetic engineering

Why are so many inherited traits not explained by genome sequence variation? In my PhD work with Brent Derry we describe a new mechanism of inheritance in animals that may account for this ‘missing heritability' 🧵nature.com/articles/s4155…

הבת הגדולה שלי שאלה את אחותה שהתחילה כיתה א׳ ״איך קוראים למורה שלך לאנגלית?״ היא ענתה ״היא ג׳ינגית ואני חושבת שקוראים לה זוחלת״

Super important and beautiful paper

Transposable elements account for ~25% of 1,000,000 predicted regulatory DNA elements in the human genome! How did we get there? Find out in our new collaborative paper led by Alan Du and Xiaoyu Zhuo from Ting Wang lab and Jason Chobirko from our lab. Stoked to have this out!

I was waiting for a long time for this exiting paper to be published. Congrats Brent Derry and Matthew Eroglu! nature.com/articles/s4155…

#Cellsize is important for many cellular processes, including biosynthesis, organelle homeostasis and development. If you need an overview of how cell size is controlled, and how it affects cell function, we have you covered: doi.org/10.1152/physre… Yagya Chadha Arohi Khurana
