We will be working on discovery of active transposable element discovery in three mosquitos thanks to a grant that began this year from the W. M. Keck Foundation. We will be using Illumina based resequencing of populations of mosquitos, RNA-Seq to study expression of genes and TEs to determine differences between active and silenced elements, bioinformatics to identify [...] A few papers from our work are now appearing. This includes several collaborative papers that have been in progress for several years, so I’m happy to see them published. See the latest issue of PLoS Genetics for our work on analysis of the transcriptome during meiosis in C. cinerea in collaboration with several labs at UNC-CH, Indiana University, [...] PLoS Pathogens has a short review format called Pearls. We were invited to write a short summary on Batrachochytrium which was published in the January issue. Rosenblum, E., Voyles, J., Poorten, T., & Stajich, J. (2010). The Deadly Chytrid Fungus: A Story of an Emerging Pathogen PLoS Pathogens, 6 (1) [...] A quick January update. Jason was appointed to a two year term as Councilor for Genetics/Molecular Biology for the Mycological Society of America, began a term on the editorial board of Eukaryotic Cell, and was also profiled in the GSA reporter. Finishing grants and working towards completing manuscripts from postdoc-land while we are computing results on [...] Our primer on the Fungi is available (currently free) on the Current Biology website. A version with extra refs inserted is available in pre-print format here. In this primer we provide a broad overview of the major evolutionary defined groups within Fungal kingdom. Our intention is make the kingdom a little less mysterious for non-mycologists and introduce some open [...] |
