  • From the President's Desk
    Sept | Oct 2009 From the President’s desk: The Increasing Importance of Model Organism Research I’m sure you know this scenario: You’re at a party, and someone hears you’re a biologist, and asks, “What do you work on?” When this happens to me, and I respond that I study yeast, I frequently get the follow-up question that you have probably already anticipated: “Are you learning how to make better beer?” At that point, I offer my explanation about the value of studying model organisms, which in cludes the statement that my daughter, now 17, learned to repeat with me by the time she was 3: “Yeast are actually a lot like people.” If you study a model organism, whether it’s yeast, bacteria, phage, flies, worms, fish, plants, or something else, you probably have been in Fred Winston a similar situation when talking to someone who is not a scientist. There GSA President is little understanding among the general public about the value of studying a model organism. This is also true among some who we might think would better understand this issue. While you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the person at this party was a lawyer or a businessperson, you might also not be too surprised if that person turned out to be a physician, or even a human biologist. Even among some biologists who understand the history of model organisms, there may be a lack of appreciation for what model organism research can contribute to future scientific understanding. For these scientists, model organi sms appear to be in the twilight of their usefulness with the advent of new sequencing technologies and other genome-wide, high-throughput approaches that can be used in human studies.

  • 'Epigenetic Landscape' Is Protective in Normal Aging, Impaired in Alzheimer's Disease 5 March 2018
    'Epigenetic landscape' is protective in normal aging, impaired in Alzheimer's disease 5 March 2018 compaction of chromosomes in the nucleus (called acetylation of lysine 16 on histone H4, or H4K16ac for short). Changes to the way H4K16ac is modified along the genome in disease versus normal aging brains may signify places for future drug development. Because changes in H4K16ac govern how genes are expressed, the location and amount of epigenetic alterations is called the "epigenetic landscape." "This is the first time that we have been able to look at these relationships in human tissue by using donated postmortem brain tissue from the Penn Brain Bank," said Shelley Berger, PhD, a professor of Cell and Developmental Biology in the Perelman School of Medicine and a professor of Biology in the School of Arts and Sciences.

NAQVI Dissertation Director: Dr. Andrey Grigoriev We investigated the function and properties of small RNAs, particularly microRNAs and tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) with age. We report the characterization of a novel 3'-to- 5' exonuclease, Nibbler (Nbr), that generates differing isoforms of miRNAs in Drosophila. We developed a robust approach to help identify and characterize 3' heterogeneity in microRNAs controlled by Nbr, which assisted in identifying age- associated traits, including neurodegeneration and lifespan. Subsequently, given the fact Nbr interacts with Ago1 and not Ago2, we observed an accumulation of certain isoforms, which lead us to ask if there were particular patterns and trends that were Ago-specific. Interestingly, we report a novel age-associated change of select isoforms with age that is Ago2 specific. RNA deep-sequencing analysis coupled with experimental evidence reflected an increased loading of miRNA isoforms into Ago2 with age. Essentially, the loss of methylated miRNAs led to accelerated brain degeneration and shortened lifespan. Intriguingly, we also observed and identified Ago-loaded tRFs, which appear to have properties similar to those of miRNAs.
