Fluorescent protein tags have revolutionized cell and developmental biology, and in combination with binary expression systems they enable diverse tissue-specific studies of protein function. However these binary expression systems often do not recapitulate endogenous protein expression levels, localization, binding partners, and developmental windows of gene expression. To address these limita...

Involutively Bordered Words

In this paper we study a generalization of the classical notions of bordered and unbordered words, motivated by DNA computing. DNA strands can be viewed as finite strings over the alphabet {A, G, C, T}, and are used in DNA computing to encode information. Due to the fact that A is Watson-Crick complementary to T and G to C, DNA single strands that are Watson-Crick complementary can bind to each...

Statement Kate Poirier

One goal of algebraic topology is the classification of topological spaces using algebraic invariants. Certain classes of spaces admit invariants with richer algebraic structure than other classes do, so these classes lend themselves more easily to classification. For example, the homology of a topological space is an abelian group. However, if the space is a manifold then its homology has an e...

Keeping Kate Granger's legacy alive.

The words doctors use matter. This was brought home to Kate Granger, who died in July 2016, when the doctor who told her that her cancer had spread apparently did not introduce himself and did not even look at her. She started the #hellomynameis campaign to encourage healthcare staff to introduce themselves to patients. Patients (and other staff) generally want to know three things when they me...
