If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

We mapped optix (again?!) as the switch gene of a natural polymorphism, this time controlling silver patches of a mountain butterfly. Gorgeous RNAi validation, evidence of selective sweeps, introgression

A microRNA is the effector gene of a classic evolutionary hotspot locus

7 years ago, I met a junior fellow named Jason Buenrostro who blew me away with a vision of futuristic genomic technologies
Today, we (Ajay Labade, Caroline Comenho) are excited to share our first steps into that future: Expansion in situ genome sequencing

🧪🦋🧬 Delving into the genetic coding of butterfly wings, we've found 'sketcher' and 'paint' genes. Now, a 'contrast' locus has emerged. Three labs have study a locus housing an lncRNA called 'ivory' and a miRNA involve in fine-tuning melanic pigmentation 🔥🔥🔥 check preprints 👇🏽🧪

We discovered a #TAD boundary element between the #HOX genes Antp and Ubx. By disturbing this element genetically #CRISPR, we could observe a change in the expression of Ubx. This caused the 🦋 forewing to resemble a hindwing not only in color pattern but also in shape. So COOL 🔥🔥
By forming a TAD! Re-analyzing HiC and ATACseq data from the James Lewis and Bob Reed Labs, Anyi Mazo-Vargas and Amruta Tendolkar found that Ubx appears to be insulated from Antp by 3D genome organization. Green peaks : Chromatin is differentially opened in the hindwing tissues around Ubx.
