Congratulations to Qing Yan. His paper in eLife is now available. He reveals the mechanism by which synthesis of DAPG and pyoluteorin are co-regulated. The mechanism is novel - an intermediate product in DAPG biosynthesis is transformed by an enzyme encoded in the pyoluteorin gene cluster. This transformed intermediate can function within and between bacterial cells to regulate expression of genes necessary for the production of pyoluteorin.
Congratulations to Delaney for being selected for a 2017 URSA Engage Award!
Alex Weisberg was awarded a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral fellowship! Congratulations to her!
Ed Davis, Alex Weisberg, Chih-Feng, and Jeff Chang attended and presented at the 37th Annual Crown Gall Conference in Bloomington, Indiana. This years conference was organized by Clay Fuqua and held on the beautiful campus of Indiana University.
The Chang and Ream labs are excited to host the 2017 Crown Gall Conference at Oregon State University. Check back later for details and a conference website soon. Pictured is the "passing of the gall" at the close of the 2016 conference.

Tal Pupko is a sabbatical professor in the lab. He is currently infusing our research program with his knowledge in machine learning and phylogenetics. It is great to have him and his expertise here! We hope that he and his family will not dread the dark rainy winters of Oregon.
