 We are excited to welcome 4 new lab members.
Carolina Kusumanegara and Mira Chandrakasan are both MIT undergraduates who have joined us for UROP projects. Xu Yan and Steven Solar are both from Harvard. Xu is a Msc student in Computational Biology and Quantitative Genetics. Steven is an MD student in the Harvard-MIT HST program. Welcome to lab! We are excited to work with you.  We had a wonderful time celebrating together at our lab’s holiday party, enjoying good company, good food, and plenty of laughter. Grateful for a great year and an even better team!
 EPCOT2, general AI model that can predict multiple genomics outs from our University of Michigan collaborators led by Jie Liu, has now been published. You can read it in Nucleic Acids Research.
 We are thrilled to welcome Sushanta Mahanta to the lab as a co-advised post-doc with Sam Peng (MIT Chemistry and Broad Institute). Sushanta recently received his DPhil (PhD) from Oxford University, where he worked with Madhavi Krishna in Physical Chemistry. Welcome Sushanta!
 The new bioinformatic caller of stripes in 3D contact maps called Quagga is published in work led by our collaborators at University of Michigan, Fan Feng and Jie Liu. Read the paper in Genomic Research.
Our mitosis preprint is now published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. This was a team effort and close collaboration with Gerd Blobel's lab and Ed Banigan and Leonid Mirny. From our side this was lead by Viraat and James. See also a related preprint from Job Dekker's group on BioRxiv that will be online soon. Congratulations to the whole team. And please also see a very nice news article from Anne Trafton at MIT News about the paper. 
Congratulations to former post-doc Shdema, who is now doing independent work at the Weizmann Institute, on her new preprint uncovering the 3D genome structure of tomato species. You can read the full preprint on BioRxiv.
