Our lab studies ssDNA gaps as the cause of BRCAness and investigates how these gaps create a therapeutic window for sensitizing cancer cells to anti-cancer therapies.
Happy to share a new publication on Mechanistic Coupling of Enzyme Activities at the Replisome in JBC. We #Traklab compare and contrast strategies used across organisms to coordinate the many enzymatic processes that occur during DNA replication. Hope it is helpful. doi.org/10.1016/j.jb...

Our latest article, in collaboration with Helle Ulrich, explores how the timing of lesion bypass and gap processing impacts genome stability. doi.org/10.1093/nar/...
I was very sad to learn of the passing of Mike Volkert, brilliant scientist always with kind smile...obit is posted www.umassmed.edu/maps/
Department of Microbiology
The Department of Microbiology was founded in 2010, and is the product of a merger between two departments, one focused on microbiology, genetics, and immunology, and the other focused on physiology.

Congratulations to Jenna Whalen on her Nature Cancer paper out today-a distinct take on nicks and their toxicity! rdcu.be/d60Td
Targeting BRCA1-deficient PARP inhibitor-resistant cells with nickases reveals nick resection as a cancer vulnerability
Nature Cancer - Whalen et al. report that increased DNA end resection in BRCA-deficient, PARP inhibitor-resistant cancers leads to increased sensitivity to DNA nicks, limiting tumor formation in...
