So excited to share insights about #pararetroviruses in the #SugarBeet genome 🌱🧬 A huge thanks to all involved: Tony Heitkam 🌱🔍💚 (left this site for 🟦🦋), Kathrin Seibt, Beatrice Weber, and Trude Schwarzacher!

Greetings from @IPKGatersleben: The new chromosome #biology calendar with great photos has been published and can be downloaded free of charge here bit.ly/377TscA #futureplants #plantsci

🔥Dear TE fans, let's join our 15th #TExJC meeting tomorrow (13:00 UTC). Our topic for discussion: "Hiding in the beet genome: What happens after repeat integration into a plant genome?" Our guests: Sophie Maiwald Nicola Schmidt Tony Heitkam 🌱🔍💚 (left this site for 🟦🦋) Register here: docs.google.com/document/d/1Rp…

🌱🧬What happens after a #transposon or a plant virus integrates into the genome? More amplification? Rapid losses? Quick silencing? Join the TE journal club tomorrow when Nicola Schmidt and Sophie Maiwald discuss their latest research on #transposable_elements in #beet! 1/3

Seeing our work on beet's #pararetroviruses commented by Ales Kovarik and Vera Hemleben makes me even more blissful than seeing this work published in it's final form😊

🌱🧬In need for more #omics of #sugarbeet and its wild relatives? Look no further: In a Bielefeld-Dresden alliance led by Katharina Sielemann, we 🧩assembled 19 Beta and Patellifolia plastomes, and 🖇️revisited the species placements within the Betoideae. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

⭕️🧬🔍Excited to announce that our ECCsplorer software to analyze #eccdna has now found a home at @BMCBioinfo. 💾check out the tool: github.com/crimBubble/ECC… 📚check out the paper: doi.org/10.1186/s12859… ...and follow @crim_bubble who has spearheaded this project!

🧬💚New preprint out, led by Ludwig (LMann) and our fresh MSc graduate Kristin: 🧬📈Reliable #repetitiveDNA consensus sequences from short reads -- do they exist and how can you do them? Can newer genome assembly tools help? find out: doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

Feeling blessed to share this with you all 🌱🔍 Many, many thanks to all involved! Katharina Sielemann, Boas Pucker, @Seeste3, Bernd Weisshaar, and Tony Heitkam 🌱🔍💚 (left this site for 🟦🦋)
