IOB Adjunct Faculty Member Publishes Paper
Dr. Scott Jackson has published “Landscape and evolutionary dynamics of terminal repeat retrotransposons in miniature in plant genomes” in Genome Biology.
NIH R21 Proposal Funded
An NIH R21 proposal based on the work of IOB graduate student Duo Peng, who works in the Tarleton lab, has been funded. The title of the proposal is “Development of CRISPR/Cas system for study of trans-sialidase family genes in Trypanosoma cruzi”
Two IOB Faculty contribute to Publication
Liang Liu and Jessie Kissinger are key contributors to a 62 genome pathogen analysis published in Nature Communications this week.
