Genetic Systems Mx
@deluna_lab
Using yeast to understand aging, evolution, and gene function.
This is our genomic portray of a novel, diverse, and highly introgressed population of S. cerevisiae from the Neotropics. With 200+ new genomes of yeasts from open agave fermentations in 🇲🇽 and as part of the #YeastGenomesMx consortium efforts biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵🧵🧵
an exquisite seminar from our #OrgulloCinvestav alumnus - now professor Tere Padilla-Benavides ; next Wednesday at Cinvestav's Center for Research on Aging (CIE): how copper regulates gene transcription 🫶🏼
Environmental characteristics and weather impact yeast populations and... much more in our new study sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The results of a great collaboration with Beatrice Valentini, @GVigani @Noe22Gatti, and Simone Bossi
Call for the PROBio-LatAm Fellowships on the IUBMB and FEBS web pages. The Call will be open from March 1 to May 1. febs.org/funding/fellow… iubmb.org/activities/fel…
Agave fermentations not only produce mezcal and tequila; they are also natural laboratories of microbial evolution. Had a great time working on this with @LuciaMoralesR, @EugenioMancera, and @deluna_lab as part of the #YeastGenomesMx onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ye…
Looking for fun in a nice place for next summer? Then, join us at the Yeast 2025 meeting! Save the date: 21-24 July 2025 Registration and abstract submission are now open!
Postdoc jobs in the Gaut lab! Brandon isn't on here, so I can be frank: he is fantastic. I did my postdoc with him and he is not only an amazing scientist but one of my favorite humans. I would have happily stayed in his lab forever if that was feasible. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08999
great resource put together by the @EvomicsLab that further help navigate budding yeast natural variation from reference quality genomes - led by @iAmphioxus @iYeast_jingli and major input from @G__Fischer lab 祝贺你!
This work is a great collaboration with the teams of @G__Fischer and @liti_nice! And many thanks to the #yeast community for the open science culture, which is essential to make this work possible!
You know what would be far more impactful and inclusive @Nature? Not charging people around the world to read scientific articles on your site.
Stop using ‘summer’, ‘winter’ and the rest when inviting researchers to events — it’s a small step, but it’s necessary and inclusive go.nature.com/4dUMxT0
Please SAVE THE DATE!! @SMBEmeetings Regional Meeting in Puerto Varas, Chile. October 6th-8th 2025. We'll have great keynote speakers and invited guests. Stay tuned for + info, soon to come. (pisco sours upon arrival)
📌 SAVE THE DATE!!!!! Come to Puerto Varas, Chile 🌳 and be part of: SMBE Regional Meeting: Molecular Mechanisms of Adaptation and Experimental Evolution: past and future perspective October 6th - 8th, 2025 +info coming soon!!!
First paper for @AlexBendel_, together with @aj4re and @BenLehner. We measured how all mutations in JUN’s leucine zipper perturb it’s interaction with all 54 human bZIPs. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… (1/4)
Our new lab website is up, thanks to the awesome @richiam95 jinichlab.ucsd.edu May the Aztec god Xochipilli guide us through our journey of machine learning enzymology (and our other science adventures).
We’re looking for a postdoc with a strong background in AI, biophysics, modeling or related. Please forward to potential candidates and RT 🙏 More details below 👇
Postdoc Opportunity👉Join @Guillaume_Diss' group to study how the sequence of a protein determines its function! In this role, you'll leverage large datasets to train generative models to predict protein-protein interaction affinity from sequence. Apply at fmi.ch/education-care…
