Our new preprint led by @unlagrohort PhD student Eric Rodene established a pipeline to extract plot-level traits from imagery data collected by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Fun collaboration with Yufeng and James (@szintri) on this NSF supported @NE_CRRI project! 1/3
A new postdoctoral research position is opening in the Robbins lab. For those interested in a career in the private sector this is a great opportunity to work with the world class Canola breeding program @NutrienAgCda academicjobsonline.org/ajo/j…

Plotting and prediction using subpopulation structure in a Maize diversity panel. Neat, the predicted versus observed data makes a similar shape as the first two PCs plotted together. Colored according to GDD_DTA. Phenotype data from Piefer et al. (2014) #maize #maizediverstiy

Let's simulate multi-trait data? simplePHENOTYPES v1.3.0 has been released on CRAN! Some of the new options: -choose what markers will be QTNs -define ld_min and ld_max for spurious pleiotropy github.com/samuelbfernandes/… #RStats #Genetics @LabLipka

Replying to @MaizeMeristem
@MaizeMeristem approached @LabLipka with a list of genes from single-cell transcriptomic data and we were able to show that these genes are associated with and explain significant variability in maize ear phenotypes
Happy to announce our first maize ear single cell paper, great team effort led by @XiaosaX, and wonderful collaborations with labs of @JesseAGillis, @LabLipka, @Schmitz_Lab, @warelab, @tginge, @wyomaize sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
