Tyler will be joining Jiang Lab as a PhD student in Fall 2026. Colin will also be rotating in the Jiang lab in the Fall.

Congratulations to Rosalie in winning the first place in Poster presentation in the Evolutionary Biology section in SOLUR Undergraduate Research Symposium!

Taken on 5-11-2026, outside of biodesign.

Congratulations to Amanda on successfully defending her honors thesis!

I got one of my previous snakemake pipelines to run on SOL cluster here at ASU. Happy to see the first output figure generate from it.

Amanda has confirmed the successful construction of a CRISPR plasmid!

We successfully conducted Hoffman Winston protocol today in the Jiang Lab! It took a while for us to get everything needed for the protocol. I’m glad it worked.

I’m excited that the collaborative project between me and Joe Armstrong from Maitreya Dunham’s lab is out on biorxiv!
This is an expected discovery when using URA3 as a reporter gene to assay mutation rates and spectra using large population of cells. We found some mutants that are able to survive on 5-FOA without URA3 mutations which led to the discovery of an interesting category of URA6 mutants that can survive in various conditions where WT and URA3 mutants can’t.
