Aushaq Malla's second paper is out today showing that DOT1L selectively drives production of major satellite repeat transcripts, thus indirectly sustaining heterochromatin via its function as a transcriptional activator. See the exciting story here.

Aushaq Malla's beautiful story showing that the histone methyltransferase DOT1L is necessary for histone-to-protamine replacement during spermatogenesis is out in Development. See it here.

Our work led by Kim Griffin, Ben Walters and Haixin Li is out today in Genome Research. The Argonaute AGO2 acts at the time of transcription to (positively) tune a transcript's probability of being translated. See the whole story here.

Our lab's first PhD! Huge congratulations to Dr. Griffin for a fabulous defense today!

We have two new official Ph.D. candidates :). Congrats to Shannon and Delaney for passing their quals today!

Major congratulations to Lauren for winning a Yale College Dean's Research Fellowship for her work in the lab this summer.  Yay Lauren, we're proud of you!

Proud to announce our lab's first paper is out:

H3K4me1 distribution predicts transcription state and poising at promoters

Congratulations to Sunhee for a wonderful job on this!!

Kim joined the lab.  Welcome!

Huge congratulations to Nancy for her acceptance to Yale's PhD program!
