Incoming assistant professor (Jan. 2027) in the Genetics Dept. @ UGA. website: sasanilab.orghttps://bsky.app/profile/tomsasani.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/tomsasani.bsky.social/post/3mukecqf3jk2iHow long does DNA damage last? @aaronquinlan.bsky.social and I found evidence that lesions are transmitted from parent (P0) to offspring (F1) in C. elegans. If they segregate unrepaired for multiple cell divisions, lesions generate multi-allelism in the F1 germline. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.26.747097v102 Sep 2026 16:31 +0000at://did:plc:zdsphfmeqr7jthtlsprnd2ot/app.bsky.feed.post/3mukecqf3jk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/tomsasani.bsky.social/post/3mmcbbt6tnk2nExcited to announce that I'll be joining the Department of Genetics at UGA (@universityofga.bsky.social) in January! My lab will use model systems, DNA sequencing, and new computational tools to study mutation rate evolution across the tree of life.20 May 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:zdsphfmeqr7jthtlsprnd2ot/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmcbbt6tnk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/tomsasani.bsky.social/post/3kmuwwpkzga2dExcited to share my latest with @kelleyharris.bsky.social and @aaronquinlan.bsky.social, now out as an eLife "version of record!" We found evidence for a second germline mutator allele in a population of 🐁 RILs, adding even more complexity to the story of mutation spectrum variation in lab mice. https://elifesciences.org/articles/8909604 Mar 2024 15:17 +0000at://did:plc:zdsphfmeqr7jthtlsprnd2ot/app.bsky.feed.post/3kmuwwpkzga2d
