Our work on understanding the mechanism of reverse splicing is out now in Science Magazine Structures of a mobile intron retroelement poised to attack its structured DNA target science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…



New preprint from the lab led my talented postdoc Isabel Wassing! She discovered that CDCA7's unique zf-4CXXC_R1 domain acts as a novel hemi-methylated DNA binding module to recruit the nucleosome remodeler HELLS and help DNA methylation! Check out her tutorial!

Do de novo-originated proteins have a stable structure? If so, what do they look like, and how do they evolve? I am thrilled to introduce one of our most proud work: rdcu.be/dw38a led by the excellent Junhui Peng Junhui Peng!

I'm very glad to share our new work on the evolution of sex peptide and Sex Peptide Receptor interactions! Congratulations to Junhui Junhui Peng , Nicolas, and our collaborator from the Rockefeller Proteomics Core, Henrik. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…


I am very glad to share a perspective GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution) from our lab, led by the talented postdoc UnJin Lee, w help from Shawn Mozeika academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…. We proposed a regulation-focused cultivator model for de novo gene evolution in this work.


Our latest paper is out rdcu.be/ev6Ym NatureEcoEvo . It began about 8 years ago when Nobel laureate Torsten Wiesel asked me: what transcription factors regulate new genes? I had no idea then. Now we have some answers.
