Great to finally show off this work with Wes Crouse, the Churchill lab, and William Valdar on a unique flexible approach to mediation analysis that has applications to genetics. See previous thread for a description of our framework.

staining of pollen tubes growing through the pistil of Arabidopsis. I didn't find what I was looking for but I'm not disappointed :)

Jon Krohn kindly invited me to take part in one of his podcasts. You can watch the result here: youtu.be/0byXO4r2GNM

jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35399/ exciting opportunity to join a BBSRC funded project in Lilley lab, Kathryn Lilley as part of team with Rothamsted Research Frederica Theodoulou and UCL Richard Mott to understand the impact of genome, transcriptomic and proteomic on phenotype in A. thaliana.

Double feature! Ziming Zhong and Yong-In Kim UCL Cambridge University talking about high quality genome assembly and structural/functional annotation for Col & Can ecotypes based on data from multiple sequencing technologies and then integrating proteomics data into the mix #ICAR2022

New TheorApplGenet paper on historical selection in winter wheat with Chin Jian Yang, Ian Mackay, Funmi Ladejobi, Prof Wayne Powell. Historical allele frequency changes increased yield, but reduced flowering time, lodging, plant height and grain protein content. rdcu.be/cSbei

Our paper on dominance in mice, rats and pigs is now published in Genome Biology: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… We show alternative splicing associates with dominance. Thanks to Leilei Cui for all his tremendous work. Project funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research. Thanks to UCL Genetics Institute for support.

We've submitted a preprint to BioRXiv biorxiv.org/content/10.1..., from a BBSRC-funded collaboration between UCL, Rothamsted and Cambridge, UK. We ask if we can predict protein abundance in Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes from the genome, epigenome, transcriptome and translatome.
