Among all the recognitions I’ve received, this one holds a special place. I dedicate it to my teachers, mentors, and students. Grateful to the Dept of Biology @ Texas A&M for the freedom to build an ambitious undergraduate genomics program, and to the College of Arts & Sciences for the recognition.

1/12 Excited to share our new paper. Many essential functions, like DNA packaging and chromosome integrity, are encoded in highly repetitive, "recalcitrant" parts of the genome. But these regions have been incredibly hard to study. Until now. genome.cshlp.org/content/35/9...

🚨multiple tenure-track jobs Our department at @tamu.bsky.social is hiring multiple tenure-track faculty. Two of these will be in Evolutionary Biology/Genetics. Please apply or share it with anyone looking for a TT position! I'll be happy to answer questions. faculty.tamu.edu/JobDetail?Jo...

Are you interested in research in evolutionary genetics & genomics 🧬 (but maybe not ready to apply to graduate school)? Come work with me or one of my amazing colleagues at Rice University, University of Houston, or Texas A&M! Apply to our #NSF funded post-bacc research program! (Please share!)

Fellow #Drosophila researchers! Ever wondered about the genome sequence of your lab strain or the balancers? Check out our Drosophila Laboratory Pangenome Database, featuring a growing collection of reference genome assemblies for popular D. melanogaster strains! github.com/chakrabortym...
