You told us connection matters, and at #Dros27, great conversations are just steps away (10 minutes max from the venue). Grab a meal at @RdgTerminalMkt, stroll to Philadelphia City Hall, or connect over coffee at local favorites.
Philly locals鈥攚here should attendees go next?
馃専 Read the exciting stories highlighting new methods and resources for #genomics and new mechanisms in host-pathogen interactions: Now published in the October issue of #G3journal
馃У
鈽曪笍 The fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix causes Coffee leaf rust that has affected Arabica coffee production for centuries. A new genome of H. vastatrix identifies a haploid trisomy that may be responsible for the pathogen's changed virulence profile.

馃 Identifying connections between genetic and phenotypic variation is important to studying host-parasite interactions.聽A #transcriptome analysis shows how host plant genes respond differently based on the genetic background of an infecting #nematode.

New in #G3journal: A mutant analysis in #Ecoli reveals that helicase function during severe transcription-replication conflicts is not intrinsically protective or deleterious but is contingent upon the recombination landscape shaped by SOS induction.

馃 馃К A resampling-based evaluation of the 79-SNP marker panel captures broad differentiation between European lobsters,聽Homarus gammarus and H. americanus.

Happy birthday to George W. Beadle! A Nobel laureate and former GSA president, Beadle helped lay the foundation for molecular biology. GSA honors his legacy through the George W. Beadle Award: buff.ly/sbPhfNE
馃 Latest in #G3journal: A mutant analysis of #Celegans聽phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesizing enzyme聽pcyt-1 and variants corresponding to disease-causing human mutations reveals how graded reductions in PC synthesis affect organismal physiology.
