Check out our latest preprint on RNAi epimutations!🧬biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Our team has shown how spontaneous RNAi-based epimutations conferring drug resistance in a human fungal pathogen are transmitted to the next generation following sexual reproduction. More details? ▶️🧵
RNAi epimutations conferring antifungal drug resistance are inheritable

RNAi epimutations conferring antifungal drug resistance are inheritable

Epimutations modify gene expression and lead to phenotypic variation while the encoding DNA sequence remains unchanged. Epimutations mediated by RNA interference (RNAi) and/or chromatin modifications...

Stephen Dolan, assistant professor for @ClemsonScience, has revealed previously unknown information about how bacteria and fungi interact in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF)! CF is one of the most common genetic diseases in the United States.

Gordon Research Conferences (GRCs) have issues with their outdated take on confidentiality. Feel free to tweet my talk tonight, including the unpublished stuff. kamounlab.medium.com/worried…
Worried about scooping? What scooping?

Worried about scooping? What scooping?

I’m surprised at how many in the biology community don’t seem to know about the “scooping Protection” policy that many journals have…

Today is #WorldAspergillosisDay. Aspergillosis is an infection caused by Aspergillus, a common fungus in our environment that most people breathe in every day without getting sick.

#MicrobiologyMonday: In the absence of neutrophils, macrophages do a good job of slowing down growth of Aspergillus fumigatus & prolonging host survival. How? Rac2, a leukocyte-specific enzyme involved in many cellular functions, is key. #IAIJournal: asm.social/1Et
