Hello DC, how we have missed you!

The Dennis lab had a blast at the American Society of Human Genetics meeting in Washington where we hung out with old friends and made new ones. Former grad student Daniela Soto joined Megan and former grad student (now postdoc) José Uribe-Salazar to present research related to structural variation and human evolution. The week was rounded off with José presenting a plenary talk on his shared work with Daniela identifying and characterizing human duplicated genes implicated in brain evolution, earning them an ASHG postdoctoral award. In addition to this award, numerous UC Davis trainees presented amazing work this year. So proud!
