In this episode of Genetics in Your World, Sarah Renee Phillips interviews Dr. Christina Cuomo about her paper "Impact of pathogen genetics on clinical phenotypes in a population of Talaromyces marneffei from Vietnam," published in the August 2023 issue of GENETICS. Dr. Cuomo elaborates on the diversity and evolution of a deadly fungal pathogen from southeast Asia and how she and her colleagues used a combination of population genomics and genome-wide association studies to identify evolutionary pattern and process as well as genes influencing patient experiences and health outcomes.

In this installment of Genetics in Your World, we talk to Dr. Hunter Hill of the University of Montana. He discusses unexpected recent discoveries made while completing his PhD with Dr. Kent Golic at the University of Utah, surrounding new and exciting data about the breakage pattern of chromosomes in Drosophila. He provides advice for others when encountering obstacles during their graduate studies. Check out the paper, "Dicentric chromosome breakage in Drosophila melanogaster is influenced by pericentric heterochromatic and occurs in non-conserved hotspots," published in the June 2023 issue of GENETICS.

Gene repression with the efficiency and specificity of CRISPR in yeast is no longer a dream! In this episode of Genetics in your world, Dr. Ishikawa tells us about how he and colleagues adapted CRISPR interference for fission yeast, allowing controllable reversible and efficient transcriptional repression. Check out the paper,â âImplementation of dCas9-mediated CRISPRi in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe,ââthat was published in the February 2021 issue of G3.

In this episode of Genetics in your world, we speak with Dr. Richard Gomulkiewicz about the evolution of gene drive resistance. With the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, scientists realized that they could engineer gene drives for a number of different applications. Using alleles with an âunfairâ transmission advantage, we can design gene drives to help eradicate malaria vectors, agricultural pests, or even invasive species. Check out the paper, âEvading resistance to gene drives,âwhich was published in the February 2021 issue of GENETICS.
