Description:

Using the tools of genetics and genomics, nearly 6,000 GSA members from more than 50 countries around the world investigate a wide variety of biological questions and applications.

Whole genome sequencing efforts by Brand et al. published in G3 revealed that E. dilemma has one of the largest genomes known for insects.Collapse Image Meta GSA conferences foster collaboration, resource development, and the spread of technology and ideas. Graduate students and postdocs: develop your skills, join a thriving network, and demonstrate your abilities by participating in the Early Career Leadership and Professional Development Program. Applications due November 30. Hosted by the Steering Committee of GSA’s Early Career Leadership Program, the Science in a Snapshot online seminar series is designed to showcase research by student and postdoc GSA members. Each month, two presenters discuss their work in an 8–10-minute talk, followed by lively Q A sessions. Guest post by Meredith M. Course* and Irini Topalidou.** The career success of graduate students and postdocs (referred to here as “trainees”) is largely dependent on just one or two principal investigators (PIs). PIs influence how trainees think about science and whether they choose to stay in the field. The fundamental purpose of mentorship is for a [ ] Aspergillus fumigatus is a major human pathogen. In contrast, Aspergillus fischeri and the recently described Aspergillus oerlinghausenensis, the two species most closely related to A. fumigatus, are not known to be pathogenic. Some of the genetic determinants of virulence (or "cards of virulence") that A. fumigatus possesses are secondary metabolites that impair the host immune system, protect from host immune cell attacks, or acquire key nutrients. To examine whether secondary metabolism-associated cards of virulence vary... Precision genome editing for model organisms has revolutionized functional analysis and validation of a wide variety of molecular systems. To date, the capacity to insert single-copy transgenes into the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has focused on utilizing either transposable elements or CRISPR-based safe harbor strategies. These methods require plate-level screening processes to avoid selecting heritable extrachromosomal arrays or rely on co-CRISPR markers to identify knock-in events. As a result, verification of transgene insertion requires anti-array... Image: Arnaud MartinClose-up view of a wild-type Junonia coenia wing eyespot pattern.

It was critical that GSA was so willing to put their faith in us. Many people didn’t initially have a lot of confidence that a group of postdocs could organize a new event of this scale.
