I and my co-authors are currently in the process of writing and submitting research relating to the three projects that I discuss on My Research page. We are working one two manuscripts, and expect there to be at least one more in the near future. As soon as they are accepted, I’ll post links to them here.
The following are presentations of original research regarding this work:
- Satb1 as traffic cop: Changing the path of molecular diffusion in the nucleus. Oral presentation at the Asilomar Chromatin and Chromosomes Conference, Pacific Grove, CA; December 2014.
- Satb1 as Traffic Cop: Directing Chromatin Compaction, Transcription, and Molecular Flux. Invited speaker for the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Seminar Series at Lewis and Clark College, Portland, OR; February 2014.
- Binding MARs through alternative domain cooperation: A Satb1 story. Oral presentation at the Asilomar Chromatin and Chromosomes Conference, Pacific Grove, CA; December 2013.
- A three way control of nuclear homeostasis – Satb1 at the crossroads of chromatin architecture, transcriptional state and molecular flux between chromatin compartments. Poster presentation at the Physical Sciences Oncology Center Annual Meeting, Tampa Bay, FL; April, 2012.
- Spatiotemporal analysis of Satb1/Satb2 nuclear dynamics reveals a picture of context dependent cooperation and competition. Poster presentation at Bay Area Physical Sciences Oncology Center Annual Site Visit, San Francisco, CA; September, 2011.
- Exploring Fibrillar Collagen Organization and the Organization of Satb1 Nuclear Architecture. Poster presentation at Bay Area Physical Sciences Oncology Center Annual Site Visit, San Francisco, CA; September, 2010.
As an undergraduate at Lewis and Clark College, I had the great fortune to engage in research with Dr. Deborah Lycan into how the small ribosomal subunit is exported from the nucleus. This work exposed me to a great number of techniques in the field of yeast genetics. My work is published in the below paper:
Claire A. Fassio, Brett J. Schofield, Robert M. Seiser, Arlen W. Johnson and Deborah Lycan. (2010) Dominant mutations in the late 40S biogenesis factor Ltv1 affect cytoplasmic maturation of the small ribosomal subunit in S. cerevisiae. Genetics 185: 199-209.
The following are presentations of original research regarding this work:
- Specific mutations in Ltv1 affect 40S ribosome subunit export and cytoplasmic maturation. Poster presentation at the American Society for Cell Biology Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA; December 2008.
- How young ribosomes get out of the house. Oral presentation at the Murdock College Science Research Conference, Forest Grove, OR; October 2006.
- Exploring the role of the putative Nuclear Export Sequence region of Ltv1. Oral and poster presentation at the John S. Rogers Research Program Presentations, Portland, OR; July, 2006.
- Exploring the role of LTV1 in Nuclear Export of the 40S ribosomal subunit. Oral and poster presentation at the John S. Rogers Research Program Presentations, Portland, OR; July, 2005.
