Current state of EU legislation on crop breeding summed up in one picture. Note that all plants carry the same mutation! One does not need to be a scientist to understand the this legislation makes no sense. #GMOs #CommonSense Testbiotech (@[email protected])

I and Robyn Emmerson are organising the session "#Genomic and #epigenetic plasticity in #plants", at next #SEBConference in Prague! Abstract submission up to 8th March! Amazing speakers includes Frank Johannes, Filipe Borges, Sara Lopez-Gomollon. sebiology.org/events/seb-con…

Well done Katie!

Amazing post produced by Tanshpreet about her intership project on #wheat #epigenetics in our lab! Thank you Tanshpreet! Blog: My experience with the Sustainability Summer internship intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/news/p… via Uni of Birmingham

Amazing post written from Katie Jeynes-Cupper about her PhD work and the amazing interaction we had with BlueBEAR High-Performance Computing UoB Advanced Research Computing (BEAR) at Uni of Birmingham blog.bham.ac.uk/bear/2024/05/2…

I am glad of being invited to Huazhong Agricultural University this autumn for the next #Horticulture_Advances Editorial Board Meeting. Horticulture Advances is a brand-new #journal lauched by Huazhong Agricultural University, edited by Springer Nature. ⬇️For submission ⬇️ link.springer.com/journal/44281

**SPECIAL ISSUE NOW OPEN** 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 Guest edited by Marco Catoni, Tamara Lechon Gomez & Aline Probst Deadline for submissions: 31st August 2024 Send us an email ([email protected]) if you'd like to submit a paper. All manuscript types considered.

We are excited to share our latest preprint, where we investigated the relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression noise in Arabidopsis. This work was led by the amazing Jakub Zastąpiło Robyn Emmerson and Liudmila Mikheeva, great collaboration with Radu Zabet and Marco Catoni 1/n

🚨🚨🚨We have a new manuscript on the functional role of gene body methylation. Spoiler alert: we showed that it buffers transcriptional noise by using different epigenetic mutants in plants. Excellent collaboration with Ulrike Bechtold & Marco Catoni. See a tweetorial from Uli below.

Fantastic first day at SEB conference! And my talk is done! 😁 Thanks Marco Catoni and Robyn for the invitation. Looking firward to the rest of the #genomic and #epigenetics in #plant session tomorrow!

Robyn Emmerson not only coordinate a session at SEB conference but also presented twice: her postdoc work at Marco Catoni and her #PhD work with Tracy Lawson and Radu Zabet at School of Life Sciences, University of Essex Paper coming soon! Stay tuned #ECR

I was honored to speak at #ICAR2024SanDiego about epiRILs in #arabidopsis and what we can still learn from them about epigenetic regulation and #transposable_elements mobilisation! Thank you Jungnam Cho for arranging such as amazing session!
