Rachel from the Matunis lab will be presenting at the Oct. 20 meeting (12:30, W2303 in the SPH).

Isodicentric Y chromosomes and Sex Disorders as Byproducts of Homologous Recombination that maintains Palindromes
Lange et al. (David Page lab)
This paper has also gotten a number of highlight write-ups (e.g., The Scientist, ScienceDaily). Since the RBJC blog started last year, this will be our first meeting on the Y chromosome and on science related to sex determination pathways (yay for new post labels!). This should be an interesting step back from the biology of the testis (which has been abundantly represented in papers presented) to the biology linked with the very first steps for getting the testis there in the first place. (Thanks, Rachel!)
Post script - Bonus points to Rachel for rallying through a cold, and for finding a comedienne who uses her Turner Syndrome as a focal point for her humor - "Dude, where's my chromosome?" [Who knew???]
