Paper PNASNews We think nematodes break open plant cells, sense small molecules (termed effectostimulins), which switch on a master regulator SUGR1, which switches on effectors, which break cells. Looks like a feed-forward loop driving infection. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

New paper alert! We just published a chromosome-scale genome (57 Mb, 16 chromosomes) of Meloidogyne hapla. A devastating plant pathogen. But this is not just another genome. 🧵 -NO CANONICAL TELOMERES. Instead, a novel 16-mer tandem repeat at chromosome ends. A new mechanism

New paper Nature Genetics nature.com/articles/s4158… Our most recent thinking on HYP effectors involves programmed shuffling of the parasite genome. This prompted us to review how and when organisms edit their own genomes In so doing, Vincent made two important discoveries... (1/3)

Congratulations to all!

France, Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Poland and Denmark issue a joint statement to protect Greenland from Trump - They want Trump to uphold the principles of the UN Charter! Did Europe abide by the UN Charter on Gaza? Did Europe support Maduro & respect the UN Charter on Venezuela?
