- The current study aimed to examine the advisor-advisee relationship from the perspectives of both advisees and advisors throughout the doctoral education process, deciphering the internal mechanisms of universities related to doctoral advisement and the role of the advisor-advisee relationship in the development of future scientists. A qualitative phenomenological research design was used through interviews conducted with 13 doctoral students and 18 faculty members at two high-ranking public research universities with well-established advisor-advisee processes and strong organizational cultures. The results demonstrate the expectations of both parties from each other and themselves throughout the process as well as the effects of the advisor-advisee relationship on the efficiency of the process, advisees’ future academic careers, and identities. Advisees generally focused on communication and planning thesis work with advisors while the advisors stressed how different dimensions of the supervising process affect the understanding of scientist identity. Additionally, it was concluded that students feel closer to being a scientist/researcher when they feel the support of their advisor and have a close relationship with their advisor, and the discourses of advisors extend this argument to feeling the support of all faculty members as a team. The study highlights the important role of advisors in raising future scientists which demonstrates the need for universities to find ways to support faculty members in developing their supervisory skills.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study investigated how the advisor-advisee relationship develops and progressed from the beginning where the student selects his/her advisor to the completion of the dissertation, and the subsequent collaborations following the graduation from the perspectives of both advisees and advisors. Data was collected from two major state universities in Ankara, Turkey in 2019-2020 academic year. 13 doctoral students from the Educational Sciences Departments at different stages of the program and 18 faculty members working in these departments who advise Ph.D. students participated in the study. The data was collected through semi-structured interview forms and was subjected to content analysis. 5 key themes emerged from the study: Assignment of the advisor, advisor-advisee communication, advisor-advisee roles, ethical issues, and suggestions.

- Genome function is dynamically regulated in part by chromatin, which consists of the histones, non-histone proteins and RNA molecules that package DNA. Studies in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster have contributed substantially to our understanding of molecular mechanisms of genome function in humans, and have revealed conservation of chromatin components and mechanisms(1-3). Nevertheless, the three organisms have markedly different genome sizes, chromosome architecture and gene organization. On human and fly chromosomes, for example, pericentric heterochromatin flanks single centromeres, whereas worm chromosomes have dispersed heterochromatin-like regions enriched in the distal chromosomal 'arms', and centromeres distributed along their lengths(4,5). To systematically investigate chromatin organization and associated gene regulation across species, we generated and analysed a large collection of genome-wide chromatin data sets from cell lines and developmental stages in worm, fly and human. Here we present over 800 new data sets from our ENCODE and modENCODE consortia, bringing the total to over 1,400. Comparison of combinatorial patterns of histone modifications, nuclear lamina-associated domains, organization of large-scale topological domains, chromatin environment at promoters and enhancers, nucleosome positioning, and DNA replication patterns reveals many conserved features of chromatin organization among the three organisms. We also find notable differences in the composition and locations of repressive chromatin. These data sets and analyses provide a rich resource for comparative and species-specific investigations of chromatin composition, organization and function.
