Thanks to everyone who came to my PhD defense and following art exhibition! It was an amazing day I will never forget :) Pictures of the presentation, committee exam, and exhibition in the thread🧵

GABI-Kat T-DNA insertion lines have been an invaluable resource for investigating the functions of Arabidopsis thaliana genes. Now, long-read sequencing has enabled us to better understand these complex insertions: doi.org/10.1101/2021.0… #geneticsresearch #longreadsequencing

Nestled in the Queen's Garden behind Kew Palace, one of our favourite seasonal highlights, the laburnum arch, has come into bloom. On the left you can see the bare branches earlier this year, but now it's adorned with beautiful yellow flowers 💛🌼

Did you know that T-DNA insertions in Arabidopsis thaliana can comprise complex arrays of multiple T-DNAs? A new study shows how long-read sequencing can help unravel these complex structures: doi.org/10.1101/2021.0… #plantgenetics #genomics #longreadsequencing

The more diverse our communities, the richer our perspectives. We're looking for seven #ECRs to join our Early-Career Advisory Group and reflect the diversity of the international research communities that we serve #DiversityInSTEM

#Rust on Berberis vulgaris caused by #Puccinia arrhenatheri - 🤩 Eureka! - here with dense coverage of aecidia (Chenôve, FR). The mycelium hibernates in the branches and the infection is systemic, inducing witches' brooms.

Almost everything we eat has been modified by humans.

Healthy diet
