We study how cells respond to their environment through adaptive evolution and regulation of gene expression. Our approach integrates genomics, evolutionary genetics, microbiology and computational biology. We are located in The Center for Genomics and Systems Biology in the Department of Biology at New York University. Read more about projects in the lab here.

This tool is AMAZING - this maps the referenced literature in a paper and shows you the connections between them. A very usful tool to dive into a topic!

What a heroic effort. I look forward to reading the conclusion to this very interesting story. Congratulations @MichelleJHays and @HarmitMalik
New preprint from the lab describes @MichelleJHays ' magnum opus on how budding yeasts wage battle against a most clever genetic adversary that resides within them: 2-micron plasmids. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.11.146555v1 @biorxivpreprint Comments welcome 1/
The publishers' paywall crumbles: MIT joins the Univ. of California, SUNY, and all German universities in refusing to pay science publisher Elsevier's obscenely high subscription fees–for papers written by scientists, describing work paid for by the public https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/11/mit-elsevier-university-california-research-access/
ICYMI: @13pt and I put together the @nytimes Coronavirus Vaccine Tracker. We’ll keep updating it as trials advance to success or failure. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/science/coronavirus-vaccine-tracker.html
