So sorry to hear this news of David Botstein's passing: online-tribute.com/DavidBots…. He was one of the truly great scientists in genetics and genomics, inventing multiple field-changing technologies at MIT, Stanford, and Princton. Truly a once-in-a-generation scientist

For this MS, super post-doc Hiroshi Tanaka chose to manipulate nucleosome stability and assess impact on cell identity, resilience and aging. The data support that idea that nucleosome stability promotes phenotypic maintenance and healthy aging. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

A federal judge dismissed the challenge to Racist #SB17, a law banning certain immigrants from owning or leasing property in Texas based solely on their nationality.
The #AAPI community have fought this kind of discrimination in the past, and we are ready to fight again. #txlege

Ever wondered what the lonely histone H3C110 does? We found that it’s lost in many fungi. Adding it back boosts histone H3 copper reductase activity, rescues iron defects and modulates lifespan, suggesting an evolutionary tradeoff between these effects.
