Perils of being human – A conversation about kinetochore humanization with Dr. Guðjón Ólafsson
In this episode of Genetics in Your World, GSA Early Career Scientist Multimedia Subcommittee member Sarah Gilmour has a conversation with Dr. Guðjón Ólafsson of NYU Langone Health and University of Iceland about his attempts to “humanize” the yeast kinetochore and how the difficulties of doing so teach us about the evolution of essential kinetochore proteins. Read Dr. Ólafsson’s paper titled, “Humanization reveals pervasive incompatibility of yeast and human kinetochore components,” published in the January 2024 issue of G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics: https://doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jkad260.
