🎉 Congratulations to Needhi Bhalla, UC Santa Cruz (www.bhallalab.com ), named a 2025 #ASCB Fellow! This honor celebrates her outstanding contributions to cell biology, leadership, & service. Fellows will be recognized at #CellBio2025 in Philadelphia this December. #CellBiology

Only a few days left to register to attend virtually the @embl.org symposium on the "Wild Frontier of Model Systems". Don't miss this opportunity if you are interested in exploring unconventional model organisms for a better understanding of biology, ecology and evolution

News! @theroglab.bsky.social Gordon et al. discovers synaptonemal complex wets & aligns chromosomes, a crucial step in sexual reproduction, where errors in chromosome# can be fatal to the embryo. @utah.edu Read in Science Advances www.science.org/doi/full/10....

I hope that everyone in the private sector who depends on federal grants to train their researchers and staff, pay for their services and products, or benefits in any other way from federal funding will come out to #standupforscience!

Ofer Rog @theroglab.bsky.social from @utah.edu will talk about "Regulating sister interactions during meiosis" on May 21st Learn more about Dr. Rog's work : theroglab.org --> Register here: meiosis.cornell.edu/mayosis2025/...

New preprint from the lab! We defined the kinetics of strand invasion during meiosis in C. elegans. Great work from Antonia, Henry and Divya. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Three (3) new pre-prints from the lab! Very proud of this work that spans approaches and model organisms, and highlights the many approaches the lab undertakes. CheC-PLS: doi.org/10.1101/2024... Diffusion in the SC: doi.org/10.1101/2024... Skp1:

So honored to be awarded the Early Career Medal by GSA. And to be in such esteemed company. Couldn't have done it without the truly amazing members of my lab, my mentors and my awesome colleagues at the University of Utah genestogenomes.org/preeminent-g...

First science post from the Rog lab: Proud to have out this paper at PNAS from Lisa and Jesus on the synaptonemal complex in C. elegans. It includes what is probably the most beautiful genetic data I was ever involved in analyzing - check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

First preprint 📢 on bsky: New work on the Wadjet defence system by @roisnehamelinf.bsky.social & @drhonsworth.bsky.social revealing beautiful & exciting structures of JET on plasmid DNA. With loop extrusion, obstacles, DNA bending, kinking, cleavage 🦠🧫 🧪 t.co/RaO7IO3zDk  With help from @DCI_Lausanne
