Joyce, Shuang and Kerry’s TAGC talks available on YouTube
The Genetics Society of America has made available recordings of talks given at The Allied Genetics Conference earlier this year in Orlando. Joyce’s talk on cryptic genetic variation in flies, Shuang’s talk on nongenetic heterogeneity in yeast, and Kerry’s talk on the interaction between Hsp90 and genetic variation in yeast are all available on YouTube.

Kerry’s blurb on Hsp90 paper featured in Principles of Systems Biology series
Cell Systems profiles select papers in the journal’s monthly Principles of Systems Biology series. They just published Kerry’s blurb on her PLOS Biology Hsp90 paper.

Kerry’s Hsp90 paper published in PLOS Biology
Kerry’s paper showing that Hsp90 does not tend to buffer the effects of new mutations on yeast-cell morphology, but that selection preferentially retains buffered alleles, has been published in PLOS Biology with an accompanying Primer article by Schell, Mullis and Ehrenreich. On this occasion, we note with sadness the passing of Susan Lindquist, whose work…
