Mariana Wolfner and I seek an enthusiastic postdoc to work on an NIH-funded project to dissect the molecular basis for male-female interactions during and after mating. Join the exciting Drosophila research community at Cornell. Email [email protected].

Almost time for #ASHG22!
If you are interested in the context-specific effects of genetic variants, I have two talks for you to check out this week…

Super stoked to see this work early online (after screening maaaany flies). Special thanks to @MesserPhilipp and @Jackson_Champer for mentoring & support. Fitness effects of CRISPR endonucleases in Drosophila melanogaster populations doi.org/10.7554/eLife.71809

Check out our latest, officially out now in @GeneticsGSA led by the amazing @dawnschen! Here, Dawn built on previous findings of female control of biased sperm usage to carefully dissect the role of octopaminergic signaling in Tdc2 neurons in this process:

1/ Do commonly-used medications reduce or exacerbate breast cancer risk for women with genetic predispositions?
The latest from the @ClarkLabCornell and the @ElementoLab!

Excited to share my most recent preprint! @ClarkLabCornell Serendipitously, we found that the strain of Drosophila virilis with the most satellite DNA had recently undergone two sex chromosome to autosome fusions. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

This is the culmination of what started as a preliminary experiment for my first rotation project back in 2014 at @ClarkLabCornell @CornellMBG, and it truly was the main driver that led to my current work in #Bioinformatics 🧬💻📊 at @NYUCVRC 💜.

Curious about what our lab's been up to lately? Check out the following 🧵 on where we'll be at #Dros21!
First up, undergraduate Mika Matera-Vatnick is giving a platform (PgmNr #33) on some very cool results mapping female genetic variation in mating plug ejection time.

Researchers at #WCM and @Cornell have developed a new computational method for studying genetic and environmental interactions and how they influence disease risk.
@ElementoLab, @amarderstein, @ClarkLabCornell and team publish the findings in @AJHGNews. bit.ly/3cbq9sr

All right, as promised, we are compiling housing/storage resources Cornell grads are able to contribute to help our ugrad peers in response to the university asking them to leave campus in response to COVID19. Please share and add to it if you are able to! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

All right, a Google Sheet is now live for folks to contribute to if they are willing and able! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Radical Clark lab undergraduate publishing research in modeling mate choice/sexual selection! 🤠💕
Bradley-Terry & Elo models are used to predict rank outcomes of pairwise contest & to calculate skill levels of players in games like chess. In our preprint we apply those to the “chess game of life” to estimate sexual selection from pairwise matings! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

My mind pretty much exploded the first time @AndyClarkCornel brought up the idea behind this paper. I was thinking about it for days afterward. Seriously, give it a read!

Fresh of the press our lab’s latest study! We wrangled some challenging & cool heterochromatic Y #genetics in #Drosophila to dissect the function of male-specific genes! All was done in collaboration with Mariana Wolfner and lead by talented @yhafezi
The Y chromosome is a unique challenge for genetic manipulation bc it is haploid, has tons of repeats, and no recombination. We report the first targeted reverse genetic study of the Y in Drosophila using CRISPR/Cas9 - out early in Genetics! @geneticsGSA genetics.org/content/early/2…
