Congratulations to the authors (and my friends), @alex-stuart.bsky.social and Chandler on their paper on CR1 retrotransposons across vertebrates! And thanks for letting me tag along! #TEsky academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-...

A New Open Foundation for TE Research: GIRI is transitioning the full Repbase collection to an open-access license and joining the Dfam effort to help build a unified open resource for transposable element research. Full announcement: tinyurl.com/48665xss

After a long time finding reviewers, my paper on the evolution of R2 retrotransposons is out! This project was in collaboration with my amazing co-authors Bri and Anthony from the Collins lab. 🐢🐦‍⬛ Big thanks to my team, especially my supervisor Dave Adelson! #TEsky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New work on CR1 retrotransposons by my lab friends Alex and Chandler! Happy to have helped out along the way

Vertebrate retrotransposons are the future of gene therapy. But how do they insert their genes? 🔥🔥 Thrilled to share our new work now published with Kathy Collins, @nogaleslab.bsky.social @berkeleymcb.bsky.social where we investigate this with #cryoEM & biochemistry in 🧪 and cells! #RNAsky #TEsky

Happy to be a part of this work! 🐢

A big chunk of my PhD work with the Collins lab is now on bioRxiv!
