Our new data show that plant centromeres can be engineered. We seeded CENH3 to synthetic repeat arrays, causing chromosome breakage. Fragments passed through meiosis formed neochromosomes with synthetic centromeres and were faithfully transmitted. bit.ly/3RWm7pV

Great opportunity!!!

“What are the post-translational mechanisms controlling resistance to therapy in acute leukemia”? This is the question we attempted to address in our newly published study in Science Advances, science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/

This is so antithetical to what we do and stand for.......Foltz lab is now also found at mastodon.social/@Foltz_lab
