Found these delightful mushrooms over the weekend. Panellus stipticus - these have luminescent gills so I need to find a way to get back there at night! 🤞🏻🙄

Found some delightfully fuzzy contaminants on yeast nitrogen plates today ❤️ those on the right look like daisies! @contamclub.bsky.social any ideas on ID?

Sometimes all a girl needs is a short walk in the woods. #fungifriends

Hello Bluesky, for my first post here I'm happy to share our latest preprint reporting the first biochemical reconstitution of DNA double-strand break formation by SPO11. SPO11 dimerization controls meiotic DNA double-strand break formation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi Bluesky. For my first post, I'd like to advertise the latest preprint from my lab, describing at long last our reconstitution of SPO11-dependent double-strand break formation from purified recombinant proteins. Outstanding work from PhD student Zhi (Zack) Zheng.

Beautiful!

It's great to be back in the light!💙🦋 In case you missed it while on the dark side, check out our latest preprint on the heritability of RNAi epimutations mediating drug resistance 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... More details? ▶️🧵

I’m back! For my first post in several months, feast your eyes upon these forest beauties ❤️🍄 #FungiFriends

In latest issue of Science Magazine, Kinzig, de Lange, +al. report that human telomerase threatens genome integrity by adding telomeres to broken chromosomes and is held in check by ATR kinase signaling. Paper bit.ly/adg3224 accompanied by a Perspective by Arnoult and Cech bit.ly/adn7791

Beautiful yeast 🤩😍 (color imparted by food dye)

Found the motherload across the street - sadly the utility workers and springtails found them first :-( 🍄

Stunning reflections this morning ❤️

Our fission yeast are soooo happy 😊 #pombe #meiosis4eva

#RNABiology recent highlight, a thoroughly revised and streamlined RiboSeq method from @nickingolia.bsky.social Streamlined and sensitive mono- and di-ribosome profiling in yeast and human cells. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

New paper on meiotic drive from the Zanders lab!

Found the coolest fungi at the weekend but I am clueless about its ID. Any suggestions? 🍄🤩❤️

Excited for this upcoming meeting on ribosome heterogeneity and specialization

Great new fission yeast resource! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

CALL for applicants to join the Genomely Internship in Genome Science (GIGS) Scholars program. GIGS Scholars will remotely work w/ Genomely personnel to gain research experience in the genome sciences—namely, evo omics, bioinf & software eng Applications due Nov 15

What a neat paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Women accumulate about 15 mutations in their healthy breast tissue every year, so mutational burden increases with age. Then you throw in pregnancy, and it suppresses mutation accumulation. In the epithelium but not in the stroma!

Steve II and the Moth were interested in learning about Cytosolic linear DNA plasmids in Saccharomycopsis species during our journal club today. Great paper from the Wolfe lab! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello, hello! First post here - excited to see how this all pans out!!
