Super excited that @pollardmd.bsky.social made the cover of @genomeresearch.bsky.social for his work linking genomic variation to continuous changes in animal/plant-eating in mammals! It was such a pleasure to work with Matthew and @eepuckett.bsky.social on this. More here: bsky.app/profile/eepu...

Just wanted to re-up my amazing new colleague @chenshuliu.bsky.social's *beautiful* work demonstrating the actions of key proteins in preventing errors in #meiosis in 🪱, while also developing a tool for putting proteins in just the right place in animal cells during experiments. Very cool work!

🚀 Excited to share that my postdoc work with @adernburg.bsky.social on a Piezo-dependent meiotic checkpoint in C. elegans has just been published in Science doi.org/10.1126/scie... Here's a summary thread, or a “Skydive” (coined by @harmitmalik.bsky.social‬), of the key findings in this work 🧵⬇️1/10

Chemically induced proximity reveals a Piezo-dependent meiotic checkpoint at the oocyte nuclear envelope

Sexual reproduction relies on robust quality control during meiosis. Assembly of the synaptonemal complex between homologous chromosomes (synapsis) regulates meiotic recombination and is crucial for a...
