FlyChip has just printed and hybridised its ten thousandth microarray!! Thanks are due to the entire team over the years: Lisa Meadows, Richard Auburn, Bettina Fischer, Ros Russell, Jason Skelton, David Kreil, Gos Micklem. Steve I had to decend into the lab to finish our modENCODE insulator and silencer validation assays – done just in time for the Data Coordination Centre deadline!  Thanks to the group for suffering the “aged one” in the lab 🙂 Somewhat worrying for the group, I kind of got the taste for lab work again and may have to plan a sabbatical at the bench! S Aleksandra Mandic, a very talented Amgen scholar who was working in our lab for the summer, recently completed her project and presented her work at the Amgen symposium. Aleksandra’s project focused on the mechanism by which Dichaete dominant negative alleles produce changes in gene expression, and she generated preliminary ChIP-chip data, as well as many exciting staining pictures, to answer this. Enrico, Jelena and Steve pay an educational visit to the worlds oldest continuously running brewery, Weihenstephan (Freising, Bavaria) at the end of the 3rd International Sox meeting in Grainau. The Korbinian Doppelbock is particularly tasty! The meeting, as with the previous Sox-fests, was fantastic with stacks of great presentations and the usual friendly atmosphere. Many thanks to Michael Wegner and his colleagues for the superb organisation & finding such a splendid Alpine location. Dean’s MozAtlas paper has been selected by the Faculty of 1000 as a significant research article. Nice one! Two Highly Accessed articles in a week! |
