New students joined the lab

Nick Mendenhall starts his journey towards the PhD degree in our lab and Matt Schuetz will carry out his undergraduate research with us.

MiST3.0 is released!

The wait is over – MiST3.0 has just been launched!

The database is still under a heavy development, so please be patient – some genomes are still being processed, but all reference and representative RefSeq genomes are available for exploration.

Please, send us your comments and report issues.

Many thanks to Luke Ulrich and Vadim Gumerov for the final push and to Davi Ortega and Ogun Adebali for their contributions.

Our first few weeks at OSU

Moving the lab to another state is always a challenge. We are 80% operational now and we are working hard on closing the gap. Several first year graduate students expressed interest in rotating with us and we are looking forward to welcome them to the lab. All computers, half of the servers and a coffee maker are functional and the white boards are ready to be placed on the walls. We are on the roll.
