Very thrilled to be able to share this preprint! We found that the way TFAM interacts with UV-irradiated DNA is very different than how it interacts with non-irradiated DNA. @MeyerLabatNSOE

Check it out and read about our very cool high-throughout DNA binding arrays we used to map TFAM binding across the mitochondrial genome and see some stunning AFM images!

Congrats to our current and former trainees @dilloneking and @TessLeuthner who presented their research at the International Conference on Environmental Mutagens in Ottawa this week! They're both doing awesome work on how environmental exposures can impact mitochondrial DNA

Excited to share my first postdoc publication! Novel approaches to identify epigenomic biomarkers of early-life exposure are needed. We review the role of DNAm as a useful exposure biomarker & highlight promising new directions for the field! link.springer.com/article/10…

How does sex and gender get "under the skin" all the way to the mitochondria? Are mitochondria different between women and men, and are they shaped by sociocultural gender? A preliminary roadmap to integrate sex and gender in mitochondrial science: sciencedirect.com/user/ident…

13 years since I published my first #Celegans paper @ToxSci (doi.org/10.1093/toxsci/kfn12…), I once again worked with @MeyerLabatNSOE and other colleagues to provide an update on the field (doi.org/10.1080/10937404.202…). Looking forward to seeing more exciting #NAMs at #2021SOT!!!

Epigenomics at #EMGS2020 is off to a great start! Yesterday the Epigenomics SIG student award winner @dilloneking delivered an excellent presentation on sex differences in #epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial genes, and I got to catch up with new & old @EMGSUS friends.

The free virtual meeting of @EMGSUS starts on Saturday. If you are into environmental genomics or epigenomics - attend! Epigenomics content is highlighted in the flyer below. Registration and program can be found here: emgs-us.org/p/cm/ld/fid=501
