Welcome!Ĭongrats to Alissa Williams on her outstanding Ph.D. After doing her undergrad here, including research in the Pilon-Smit, Rachael recently completed her Ph.D. Our newest lab member is an old fried of CSU Biology. Welcome to Monica Berggren, Tony Gatts, and Lio Lee! We have had a few new members join the lab in the last couple months. JanuWelcome to new undergrad researchers! JanuRewiring of tRNA synthetase subcellular targetingĬheck out Jess's new preprint on the evolution of subcellular targeting of tRNA-interacting enzymes in Silene in response widespread loss and functional replacement of mitochondrial tRNA genes. Update: This work in now published in GBE ! We have used recently published long-read sequence data from Arabidopsis thaliana to assembly a nuclear insertion of mitochondrial DNA (numt) that is over 600 kb in size. Welcome!įebruAssembly of a monster mitochondrial DNA insertion in the Arabidopsis nuclear genome Xiaorui Lou and Janna Novak have joined the lab to work on secondary structure of plant mitochondrial and plastid RNAs with postdoc Rachael DeTar. was published in PNAS with an accompanying perspective by Jeff Doyle. was published in Genetics, and Forsythe et al. Forsythe et al investiage the stoichiometry of nuclear and organellar gene expression. University! Grover et al investigate imbalanced expression of nuclear homoeologs across maternal and paternal subgenomes. Check out the companion studies with our collaborators at Iowa St. We have posted not one but two preprints on cytonuclear gene expression in plants of different ploidy levels. MaPreprints on mRNA-seq in allopolyploids Update: This work is now published in PNAS along with a perspective piece by Samantha Schaffner and Maulik Patel! Read all about our findings in this preprint ! The homogenization appears to depend on gene conversation and the function of the recombination/repair enzyme MSH1. MaNSF postdoctoral fellowship for RachaelĬongrats to Rachael DeTar for receiving a 3-yr postdoctoral fellowship from the NSF! Look forward to some exciting work on secondary structure in plant mitochondrial and plastid RNAs!Īmanda's recent work has shown that variation in mitochondrial and plastid DNA within a cell (heteroplasmy) sorts out extremely fast. Congrats to Shady for being awarded a fellowship from Graduate Research Fellowship Program! Well done!
Congrats again to Shady, this time for earning an NIH T32 predoctoral fellowship through the qCMB program!
