In this video, members of one winning team—Biology Professor Jane Carlton, director of the NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, and Ari Patrinos, deputy director for research at the Center for Urban Science and Progress...
The Blau Lab published a paper in the September issue of PLOS Biology in which they described how clocks in individual neurons synchronize with each other for a coherent internal timer.
David Gresham and PhD student, Jungeui Hong, have published a review of the functional basis of adaptive evolution of yeast and bacteria in chemostats.
David Gresham has published a gold standard yeast gene regulatory network in a study led by Alexander Statnikov at the NYU School of Medicine.
Alberto Stolfi and Lionel Christiaen contribute to defining the guidelines for the nomenclature of genetic elements in tunicates
Alberto Stolfi from the Christiaen lab published a paper in eLife, in collaboration with Elijah Lowe, Billie J Swalla and C Titus Brown. This shows that divergent mechanisms control conserved gene expression and developmental patterns between distant ascidian species.
In collaboration with colleagues at the Stazione Zoological Anton Dohrn in Naples, Italy, a paper was published in Nature Communications, where they dissected the transcriptional dynamics underlying pigment cell specification.
Claire Bertet and colleagues in the Desplan lab describe in a recent issue of Cell how temporal patterning of neuronal stem cells controls the death of neurons in the Drosophila optic lobes.
CGSB Assistant Professor Christine Vogel was recently awarded a 4-year NIH grant to model protein expression changes.
Konstantine Tchourine from the Vogel and Bonneau labs has published a computational study in Molecular BioSystems with a team of co-workers.
PhD Student Julia Maritz from the Carlton lab published a review as a front cover article in the July issue of Trends in Parasitology.
Rudy Behnia and Claude Desplan describe in an upcoming issue of Nature how a set of four neurons in the optic lobes of Drosophila implement motion detection of light and dark edges.
The Coruzzi lab has identified a new “hit-and-run” transcription mechanism. The findings were published in a recent issue of PNAS.
Presentations from the 2014 13th Annual Symposium of the New York University Center for Genomics and Systems Biology.
In a recent Genetics paper, Sarah Albritton (Ercan lab) shows that the nematode X chromosomes have higher female-biased and lower male-biased expression.
CGSB faculty member Elodie Ghedin was recently highlighted in a video series celebrating women in science.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article covering the findings of the Carlton lab's Dirty Money Project.
The 2014 NYU CGSB Symposium, "Genomes Evolving" took place on Friday, June 6, 2014.
Using an unusual experimental model, Miriam Rosenberg proposed that the wasp Nasonia exhibits a dual mode of segmentation: long germ like Drosophila at the anterior of the embryo, and short germ, with a segmentation clock at its posterior, as in most basal insects. This allowed her to suggest an evolutionary path for early embryonic development.
Robert Johnston and Claude Desplan described in a recent issue of Science how each of the two alleles of the gene spineless, which control the stochastic expression of Rhodopsin photopigments in the Drosophila retina, are turned ON or OFF randomly in photoreceptor cells. When the two alleles make different decisions, communication between them allows the cell to coordinate expression.
Fei Li, an assistant professor in the Department of Biology, has been awarded a three-year NSF grant to study epigenetic inheritance, a process which, when disrupted, results in genomic instability and developmental disorders in both plants and humans.
Mathias Wernet deciphered the transcriptional network that specifies the region of the Drosophila eye responsible for the detection of the vector of light polarization that allows insects to navigate when the sun is not present.
Dr. Jane Carlton discusses her early interest and current research of Malaria at the Emory University Malaria Host-Pathogen Interaction Center.
"From Darwin to DNA: Digging for Genes that Affect Behavior" This event is free and open to the public.
David Gresham recently published an optimized method for next-generation genetic screens in the open access journal of the Genetics Society of America, G3.
PhD student, Jungeui Hong and David Gresham have published a high resolution study of adaptive evolution of budding yeast in nutrient-limited environments.
