Great work of authors Fultz, McKinlay and Enganti to fully sequence the Arabidopsis NORs (adding the final missing ~9.4 Mbp of the genome), and map the positions of active and silenced rRNA genes within them, is now published, open access ! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Sequence and epigenetic landscapes of active and silent nucleolus organizer regions in Arabidopsis

Sequencing and activity mapping of Arabidopsis thaliana NORs reveals the epigenetic parameters of their alternative on/off states.

My first postdoc paper is on bioRxiv! We demonstrate that sequence entanglement--in which two genes are encoded within different reading frames of the same DNA sequence--improves the evolutionary stability of high-cost genetic components. Read more here: doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.27.5…

My 2nd paper is out! We found that PilT primes the extension complex in MSHA pili. Yes- this retraction motor is required for extension! We started out intrigued by an unusual control strain and ended up revealing interesting facets of pilus regulation. journals.plos.org/plosgeneti…
