Joe Biden will win the popular vote by over 4 million votes. The Democratic nominee for president has now won the popular vote in 7 out of the last 8 elections. One person, one vote. Democracy must rule. Yes. We should abolish the electoral college.

Undergrad @PhilNosler won an award for his oral presentation ABRCMS!!! Congrats Phil! So honored to have you in Libuda Lab! University of Oregon UO Biology #meiosis4eva

NEW: GSA has informed president-elect Joe Biden the administration is ready to begin the formal transition process, according to a letter from administrator Emily Murphy sent Monday afternoon and obtained by CNN.

The fabric of our democracy and the principles of our republic are under attack by the President. Enough is enough. President Trump should resign or be removed from office by his Cabinet, or by the Congress. 6/6

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: Jon Ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & Reverend Raphael Warnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

In Vermont, we know something about the cold. And we’re not so concerned about good fashion.

Thank you! Together we persevered.

The latest Libuda Lab paper is online in Current Biology! We develop and use an assay to temporally monitor repair of single DSB w/ the sister chromatid or same DNA molecule, and assess its conversion tracks during specific stages of meiosis in C. elegans. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our latest paper is out and featured in the latest issue of #GENETICS! Together 6 lab members developed quantitative image analysis algorithm & pipelines for C. elegans germlines. Genetics Society of America Erik Toraason Nicole Kurhanewicz Acadia DiNardo Cori Cahoon Adam Saunders academic.oup.com/genetics/artic…

Our latest manuscript is live! Postdoc Cori Cahoon developed and used the auxin degron system to conditionally immobilize #celegans for live imaging. Works efficiently in both hermaphrodite and male worms! Cori also found males need higher auxin levels. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

happy father’s day

Our latest paper by grad student Erik Toraason is out in STAR Protocols. It describes how to use our intersister/intrachromatid repair assay to induce a single DSB during meiosis and assess how the DSB was repaired (including conversion tracts) in C. elegans. star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/984

Latest paper by postdoc Cori Cahoon is out! Using the auxin degron system, she developed a method to reversibly immobilize male & hermaphrodite C. elegans as both adults & larva for live imaging. Movie is a germline in a living worm. #celegans #G3Journal academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Postdoc Alice Naftaly got a job! She starts a visiting assistant professor position at Pacific University next week! We celebrated her last day with peach cheesecake, pizza, and pink champagne. Congrats Alice!

Always a 10/10 time with fellow germ cell and meiosis lovers #cshlgermcells

Latest preprint from the lab by postdoc Cori Cahoon ! Her beautiful work identifies sex-specific differences in the composition of meiotic chromosome structure and how it regulates recombination in developing sperm and eggs. 🧬🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest preprint is on bioRxiv! PhD student Zac Bush (his 1st first author paper!) used long & short read sequencing to analyze the accumulation of structural variations in the genome from propagation of the same wild type worm isolates in different labs 🧬🪱#celegans

And we have another PhD candidate in the lab! Congrats Jordan Brown on advancing to candidacy! 🍾🎉 ⁦Libuda Lab⁩ #meiosis4eva
