Thanks. A PhD research assistantship is available starting August 2002 to study chromosome structure in Drosophila melanogaster, at Idaho State University. The research project centers around a genetic and molecular characterization of genes involved in the establishment and/or maintenance of higher order chromatin structure, under the direction of Dr. Karen Weiler. The role of chromatin structure in gene expression is presently a very exciting and rapidly moving area of research. The Weiler laboratory has used position effect variegation in Drosophila as a tool to identify candidate genes important for higher order chromatin structure. Current studies focus on the phenotypic characterization of mutant alleles of two genes that affect chromosome structure, E(var)3-5 and E(var)3-9, and concurrently the identification, cloning and molecular analysis of these genes. The doctoral student would have a primary role in carrying out these studies. More information about the research program and this position is available on the web (http://www.isu.edu/~weilkare/) and by directly contacting Dr. Karen Weiler (email: weilkare@isu.edu; phone: 208-282-4410; fax: 208-282-4570). As the application deadline for admission to the Dept. of Biological Sciences graduate program is March 1, please inform us of your interest as soon as possible. --------------DEA5CADFE9A61DC3E65ED46A Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Colleagues,
