🚨New paper, now published in @Nature! Using pan-genetics across the Solanum genus🍅🥔🍆we reveal why gene duplications🧬are major contingencies in crop engineering. My postdoc work in the Lippman lab @CSHL, in collab. with @mike_schatz and many others! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
A new 3D chromatin 🧬map in brown algae is out
@NatureComms
! New insights on UV chromosome structure and an acient endogenous viral element (EVE) interacts with telomeres!
Congratulations Pengfei Liu, Susana Coelho, Chang Liu and all team @MPI_Bio

The degree to which researchers in animal models completely ignore plants when making sweeping generalizations about phenomena common to all eukaryotes is disappointing, particularly when the plant research is obviously relevant.

As a proud co-advisor of @SodaiL who showed remarkable intellectual independence to enable this project, check out his amazing R package {phylomapr} and new {myTAI2} functions which will make your own research much easier:

A transcriptomic molecular hourglass in the third most complex multicellular eukaryotic group!
Congratulations to all authors, very nice job 🦠
Does the aggregation of complex multicellularity follow a universal developmental pattern across the eukaryotic tree of life?
Thrilled to announce that we found a convergently evolved transcriptomic hourglass pattern in brown algal development. @Nature

Wonderful news!! #sRNA rules!!🎊
Very very well deserved, but the importance of miRNA research on plants have been overlooked again.🌱
#plantblindness
BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Really enjoyed writing this @NaturePlants
news featuring the work by Yuan et al. rdcu.be/dVSnS showing that RNA polymerase V (Pol V) plays a role in regulating plant immunity, independently of its well-established function in RdDM and DNA methylation!🧐🧬🍃🌱
New Article: "An RdDM-independent function of Pol V transcripts in gene regulation and plant defence" rdcu.be/dVzZd

Sixteen years ago I went to Portugal to start my lab in this unique place. I am VERY sad to see it in its ashes now. RIP IGC and thank you to all of those that made it so special 💔💔💔
It was a unique privilege to have, in Portugal, a place like the @IGCiencia
60y teaching us to aim higher, to try our best
Today, we will celebrate those years and give a warm send off to the ones leaving @phd_igc
At 6pm, in the patio, RIP Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência
💔

Busy month with many excellent meetings (Plant Energy Management, EMA2024, upcoming AMPK2024). So, here is a LATE thread on our most recent work with @BenoitLandrein, Henrik Jönsson, @PauFormosa, and John Lunn

This paper led by Dr. Atsushi Shimada is out @NaturePlants! Centromere function can be dependent on a few TEs, and in RNAi mutants, small RNAs targetting these TEs are enough to reestablish normal chromosome segregation! Crazy! nature.com/articles/s41477-0…

“Overly competitive labs where students do not support one another can hinder personal and collective growth.”
Well-said, @KamounLab. Prospective PhD students should read this piece on red flags to look out for when selecting a lab: bit.ly/3zSSZf1

Congrats to Dr @HajkDrost who's been awarded a @royalsociety Wolfson Fellowship. The funding allows Hajk to use computational methods to study billions of proteins at tree of life scale with the aim to understand where & how disease causing errors occur.

It is an incredible privilege to have been awarded the @royalsociety Wolfson Fellowship to support my team's transition from @MPI_Bio to @UoDLifeSciences. Many years of engagement with @royalsociety and @wolfsonfdn ahead of us. A marvellous start at @UoDLifeSciences & @dundeeuni!

Humbled to see our DIAMOND2 aligner fuel the sequence search against this massive effort of [Logan] to assemble >50 peta-bps of reads from >27M NCBI SRA samples. We hope biosphere genomics research will soon be accessible to everyone 💎🧬🖥️
@naturemethods
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We hope our efforts to enable protein alignments at tree-of-life scale will inspire genomics research in the @EBPgenome era. An extraordinary effort with @bbuchfink & Klaus Reuter with fantastic support by @PlantEvolution, @MPI_for_DB & @maxplanckpress. nature.com/articles/s41592-0…
