==Introducing the SGD Webinar Series: April 6==

[[File:SGDwebinars-redbud.png|175px]]
====SGD: A Catalyst for Biological Research====
Function is just one of many important angles to consider a gene and its product. Other concepts like regulation, genetic/physical interactions, phenotypes, are critical to understanding how a gene fits into the overall biology of the cell. By quickly connecting users to high-quality annotations, different types of data, and useful tools to explore the yeast genome, SGD acts as a catalyst for biological research and has become an indispensable resource for many scientists.

We are excited to announce our first webinar of the SGD Webinar Series on '''April 6th, 2016, 9:30 AM PST.''' In this short webinar, we will provide an overview of the different ways you can find information about your favorite genes in SGD.

Space for this webinar is limited, with reservations available on a first come, first served basis. To reserve your spot, please register for this event here: http://bit.ly/1p8d4E5

==SGD at The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) 2016==
[[File:TAGC.png|250px]]

SGD will be attending [http://www.genetics2016.org/ The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC)] in Orlando, Florida, July 13–17, 2016! For the first time ever, the meetings of the yeast, ''C. elegans'', ciliate, ''Drosophila'', mouse, and zebrafish model organism communities will be united under one roof, along with a new meeting on population, evolutionary, and quantitative genetics.

Submit your [http://www.genetics2016.org/presenters/abstracts abstracts] now! Abstract submission will be open until March 23, 2016. If you want GREAT science and access to the leaders of the field, then TAGC is the place for you. SGD will be there, will you?
<br clear=all>

==Coming Soon to SGD: Updated Genome Browser==
[[File:JBrowse.png|300px]]

SGD will soon be releasing an updated genome browser to enable fast and responsive exploration of the ''S. cerevisiae'' genome. Based on JavaScript and HTML5, JBrowse offers a smooth user experience with continuous page transitions, quick zooming, and a clean interface with ample room to visualize data tracks. Take a sneak peek at [http://jbrowse.yeastgenome.org jbrowse.yeastgenome.org] and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/suggestion send us comments or suggestions].

Keep an eye out for the updated genome browser to go live on SGD later this month.

==Research Spotlight (Blog Posts)==
In case you missed them, here are some of the Research Spotlights posted on our blog lately:

*[http://www.yeastgenome.org/unlocking-chromatin Unlocking Chromatin] The yeast gene HO is notoriously difficult to activate. It requires three regulatory "locks" to be opened in order to increase its expression. [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000182487/overview Yarrington ''et al.''] found that the second "lock" is a set of nucleosomes, and that their absence at URS2-L resulted in fewer steps required for HO activation.

*[http://www.yeastgenome.org/unfrying-an-egg Unfrying An Egg] Almost like un-frying an egg, yeast cells were shown by [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000181515/overview Wallace ''et al.''] to have the ability to restore aggregated proteins back to their normal shape after a heat shock.

*[http://www.yeastgenome.org/of-medieval-market-townes-and-wasp-guts Of Medieval Market Townes and Wasp Guts] A secret hookup spot for yeast to mate has been discovered by [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000182481/overview Stefanini ''et al.''] in a place that really sets the mood: the wasp gut.

*[http://www.yeastgenome.org/not-quite-the-same Not Quite The Same] Yeast that bake their own "bread", or make their own nutrients, work very differently from yeast that can't and are instead provided an abundant supply of nutrition, as [http://www.nature.com/articles/nmicrobiol201530 Alam ''et al.''] found.

*[http://www.yeastgenome.org/the-benefits-of-sex The Benefits of Sex] If yeast can reproduce asexually, why bother with sex? [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/26909573/overview McDonald ''et al.''] found that over time, sexual yeast populations "weed out" unimportant mutations while keeping the ones that actually make a difference.

*[http://www.yeastgenome.org/clearing-customs-in-the-nucleus Clearing Customs in the Nucleus] Much like going through airport customs, mRNAs trying to exit the nucleus are checked before entering the cytoplasm. [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000182268/overview Smith ''et al.''] and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000182466/overview Saroufim ''et al.''] found ways to study this fascinating process of mRNA export in real-time.
