The program is up! This is THE meeting you cannot miss! Can’t wait to see you in Poznań! #PMM #Plantmeiosis

📣Dear Plant Meiosis Meeting participants! The meeting starts tomorrow ‼️ Everything is ready🤩 Don’t worry, you can’t miss the location!!!!😎

What a day…🤩

The Plant Meiosis Meeting is over‼️ We had over 100 participants from 17 countries worldwide🤠 Three days of amazing science🧬, networking, socializing🍾, and much more! It was an exceptionally stimulating experience on so many levels🤩 #plantmeiosismeeting #pmm #Plantmeiosis

Our new paper compares meiosis in natural and neo allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica. Homoeologous crossovers are 20-fold more frequent in first generation polyploids and show a strong bias toward chromosome ends. #meiosis #polyploid @CNibau IBERS - Aber bit.ly/4dZW7F0

We @RIBESresearch Radboud University are seeking to strengthen our team in Crop Biotechnology with two new assistant professors. The deadlines are November 3. Please re-share! ru.nl/en/working-at/… ru.nl/en/working-at/…

📣New research from our and Mónica Pradillo ‘s labs shows what happens when MLH1/3 complexes are lost in Arabidopsis! 🤩 Lots of unexpected findings! Special thanks to Nadia Kbiri ‼️ Genetic dissection of MutL complexes in Arabidopsis meiosis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📣 Our paper on ATR kinase in Arabidopsis meiosis is now online at The Plant Cell ‼️ In _atr_ mutants, DSB levels remain stable, and crossover pathway choice is unaffected, but crossovers shift from pericentromeres to chromosome arms 😎 doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

New Article: "The complete genome assembly of Nicotiana benthamiana reveals the genetic and epigenetic landscape of centromeres" rdcu.be/d0h6Q ...revealing the structure, epigenetic landscape and evolutionary dynamics of its centromeres following allotetraploidization.

🥳🥳🥳 Extremely Happy to be awarded with the Prime Minister’s Prize in the category of an outstanding doctoral dissertation;-) Thank you all the reviewers and Piotr Ziolkowski for being the best Boss I could imagine!

Każda złotówka zainwestowana w badania i innowacje generuje od 4 do 7 zł zwrotu w gospodarce. Dziś Premier Donald Tusk przekazał kolejne 0,5 mld zł na Narodowe Centrum Nauki Narodowe Centrum Nauki, które wspiera działalność naukową w zakresie kluczowych badań podstawowych. Potrzebujemy

This very moment when research on meiotic recombination, part of Maja Szymanska-Lejman ’s PhD project, catches the attention of Poland’s Prime Minister 🇵🇱 Donald Tusk Alongside the announcement of increased funding for research Narodowe Centrum Nauki Can you imagine a better start of the weekend?🥳

Wraz z Januszem Bujnickim @jmbujnicki z IIMCB, Rafałem Kucharskim Rafal Kucharski z UJ oraz innymi zdobywcami grantów European Research Council (ERC) dziękujemy Ministrowi Dariusz Wieczorek za zaproszenie na rozmowę o propozycjach zwiększenia wykorzystania przez PL unijnych środków na programy B+R 🇵🇱🇪🇺

Do you know there is a convenient marker for human/animal #gene ends and #transcription #termination? RNA Pol II CTD T4ph. Find our all about it in our paper Nucleic Acids Res by Magda Kopczynska @mgkopczynska.bsky.social upasana saha et al. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Grateful to Narodowe Centrum Nauki and European Research Council (ERC) for funding

Two Narodowe Centrum Nauki grants from recent call goes to IMBB AMU Poznań: Piotr Ziółkowski Piotr Ziolkowski received Maestro to study corss-over & Jakub Dolata Jakub Dolata was awarded Sonata Bis to investigate Small RNA. Big Congratulations to both!!! #NCNtoTlen #crossover #snRNA UAM Poznań

🚀 Our collaborative work with Mónica Pradillo , "Genetic dissection of MutL complexes in Arabidopsis meiosis," is now published in NAR! 🌱 doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… 🔬 We show that MutLγ is crucial for ZMM-dependent crossovers, with MUS81 unable to fully compensate for its loss.

Thrilled to announce our study on the histone variant H2A.W & pericentromeric crossovers is now out in PNAS! We show that loss/knockdown of H2A.Ws boosts meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis pericentromeric regions: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I am happy to announce that I defended my PhD thesis today! It’s been a wild ride over the past five years, but it all led to a fantastic ending. I’m grateful to everyone involved from IMBB AMU Poznań, Laboratory of Genome Biology and to my supervisor, Piotr Ziółkowski Piotr Ziolkowski!

Our study on COmapper using nanopore long-read sequencing is now published online! (see New Phytologist New Phytologist : Phytologistnph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…) Congratulations to lead author Dohwan Byun, soon-to-be Dr. Namil Son, and the co-authors!

‼️Can we tune crossover hotspot activity by targeting chromatin modifiers? Absolutely!💥 Our screen shows dCas9-JMJ14 represses crossovers at targeted sites, while VP64 boosts them! 🧬 Check our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #meiosis4ever #CRISPR #Arabidopsis
