chromosome VI. Isolated VI disomes in TUB1 integration
strains.Currently: Rush Medical College.
Kun Yang ('10) -- Constructed
TUB1 TUB2 plasmid. Isolated
VI disomes in TUB2 deletion strain, demonstrating that duplication of
TUB2 is necessary for disomic VI lethality. Characterized karyotypes
and phenotypes of the aneuploids. Constructed ACT1 LEU2 plasmid.
Currently: Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University.

Liz Miller ('08) -- Deleted TUB2 from modified chromosome VI. Worked on plasmid constructions. Currently: Technical Lead for Analysis at Signature Genomics.
Chris Shellooe ('08) -- Troubleshot IV and VI disome isolation. Showed that IV disomes could be isolated with a "delayed selection" protocol. Post-GU: Mammalian Cell Culture Process Development Associate at CMC ICOS Biologics, Seattle, WA. Currently: Research Technician in T-cell and stem cell culture and process development at The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA.
Justin Platon ('08) --
Developed assays that were used in the
construction and analysis of aneuploid-inducible yeast strains.
Microarray-based CGH assays on candidate IV disomic strains.
Daniel Pauw
('07)
-- Constructed and studied strains
that should be able to be induced to gain chromosome VI. Currently:
Grad student in Information Sciences, U of W. [photo]
Julie Kudrna ('06) --
Helped
set up the lab at Gonzaga. Used
Chan
and Botstein yeast strain to study spontaneous
chromosome duplications. Initiated use of microarrays at Gonzaga to
identify aneuploidies in yeast. Constructed and studied strains that
can be induced to gain chromosome IV. [Poster, Princeton 2006] [Photo] Post-GU: Jesuit Volunteer Corps,
non-profit work. Masters Degree in Public Policy.
Jasdeep Kaur ('06) -- Pilot studies on loss of minichromosomes in aneuploids. Integrated conditional centromere into chromosome X. Currently: OHSU med school graduate.

and select for chromosome duplication. Integrated these cassettes into
several yeast chromosomes. Currently: UW med school graduate, radiation
oncology resident.
Bre Kinghorn ('05) -- Engineered DNA integration cassettes to induce and select for chromosome duplication. Integrated these cassettes into several yeast chromosomes. Currently: UW med school graduate, pediatrics resident.
Jillion Harris (Harvard '04) -- Summer 2002/Stanford Summer Research Program -- exposed steady-state chemostat cultures of yeast to rapamycin and examined gene expression profiles by microarray. Currently: Duke med school graduate
Allan Tulloch (Harvard '01) -- Summer 1999/Stanford Dept
