Proud to contribute to this study, which substantially improves the faba bean genome assembly and sheds light on the genetic basis of cold tolerance in this crop. doi.org/10.1038/s41588-026-0…
Kinetochore mutations and histone phosphorylation pattern changes accompany holo- and macro-monocentromere evolution. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6…
Great collaboration led by Houben Lab on atypical centromeres and kinetochores in #Chionographis and #Chamaelirium plants: doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.06.6…

🚨BREAKING: Over 1,000 scientists in 14 countries hold historic demonstrations in support of gene editing.
The scientists are urging MEPs to back New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) ahead of a crunch vote in the EU parliament tomorrow.
Please like and share if you believe in science!

📢 Hey REPET users ! A new version of the Docker #REPET image is available! hub.docker.com/r/urgi/docker… It includes the REXdb (@MacasLab) and Dfam (@isbsci) databases formatted for REPET use to improve the classification of your #Transposons reference library.

Great collaboration with Andreas Houben @YiTzuKuo and @MacasLab now published online in @NatureComms. Here we show that holocentromeres can also consist of only a few centromeric units with megabase-sized repeat arrays in similar ranges as in monocentromeres! Crazy!
A new type of plant holocentromere ! Excited to be part of a great team led by Houben lab at @LeibnizIPK, including @YiTzuKuo, @marques_et_al and many others. Supported by #GACR, @BiologyCentre and @ELIXIRCZ. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-3…

Fantastic #RepeatExplorer workshop organized by @MacasLab. A huge thank you to our special guest @JohannConfais from @INRAE_URGI for his captivating presentation on REPET. Thanks to the backing of @ELIXIRCZ & @ELIXIREurope, this event marked the beginning of a new collaboration.
Our paper on aberrant kinetochores of #holocentric #Cuscuta plants just published in PNAS journal! Great work by @PavelNeumann7, @LudCris and collaborators! Supported by @ELIXIR_CZ and @BiologyCentre. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2300877…
