    Perils of being human – A conversation about kinetochore humanization with Dr. Guðjón Ólafsson

    In this episode of Genetics in Your World, GSA Early Career Scientist Multimedia Subcommittee member Sarah Gilmour has a conversation with Dr. Guðjón Ólafsson of NYU Langone Health and University of Iceland about his attempts to “humanize” the yeast kinetochore and how the difficulties of doing so teach us about the evolution of essential kinetochore proteins. Read Dr. Ólafsson’s paper titled, “Humanization reveals pervasive incompatibility of yeast and human kinetochore components,” published in the January 2024 issue of G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics: https://doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jkad260.  Music: Loopster Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

    Ep. 9. Interrogating Fungal Pathogens & Inspired Leadership – A Discussion With Dr. Christina Cuomo

    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.

    Ep. 8. Unexpected Discoveries in Drosophila – A Conversation with Dr. Hunter Hill

    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.
