The centromere performs an essential function during cell division, yet its DNA sequence can evolve remarkably rapidly—a puzzle known as the centromere paradox. How can function remain conserved when sequence does not? 🧵 1/4

What can undergraduate classroom research teach us about a decades-old genetics problem? A lot, as it turns out. Proud of the tremendous work by @alesamano.bsky.social and our undergraduate researchers. A great example of discovery-driven learning in action. artsci.tamu.edu/news/2026/07...

Texas A&M Undergraduate Study Reveals Effects of Large DNA ChangesResearchers found that major changes in DNA were connected to a surprisingly large number of harmful traits in fruit flies.artsci.tamu.edu

It was a real privilege to chair sessions at #PEQG26, organized by @genetics-gsa.bsky.social, alongside co-chairs whose work I admire. Thanks to the organizers for putting together a great meeting.

Among all the recognitions I’ve received, this one holds a special place. I dedicate it to my teachers, mentors, and students. Grateful to the Dept of Biology @ Texas A&M for the freedom to build an ambitious undergraduate genomics program, and to the College of Arts & Sciences for the recognition.

🚨multiple tenure-track jobs Our department at @tamu.bsky.social is hiring multiple tenure-track faculty. Two of these will be in Evolutionary Biology/Genetics. Please apply or share it with anyone looking for a TT position! I'll be happy to answer questions. faculty.tamu.edu/JobDetail?Jo...

Faculty Job BoardIn support of growth in the Biological Sciences, major remodeling of teaching space is presently underway, as is architectural design for a new Biology building that will add significant research space for our faculty.faculty.tamu.edu
