Congratulations to Kaylah, who has officially joined the Hanlon Lab! Currently her focus is on understanding what domains of Matrimony – an essential regulator of female meiosis – are necessary and sufficient for its suppression of meiotic drive of the B chromosomes. Welcome, Kaylah!

Ready, set, image!
Our new DeltaVision Ultra is already producing some gorgeous images! Graduate student Kaylah Samuelson validated our fluorescent in situ hybridization protocol and established the imaging parameters on the DeltaVision Ultra to produce this gorgeous karyotype from an XX^Y female with B chromosomes. Magenta = DNA (DAPI stain), yellow = DNA FISH probe that recognizes the AAGAT repeat.
