🧬🌱Happy to see Sophie's #TransposableElement story published in @AnnBot. She had a deep look at short, non-autonomous #plant #retrotransposons of the Cassandra family, especially in the Amaranthaceae, but also in many other higher plants. 1/3 📚doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc…

End of an era: writing the last Annals of Botany Annals of Botany Christmas cards before I stand down as Chief Editor. Nice chance to exchange personal messages with many colleagues and friends involved with editing.

Happy to see @Annbot Genomic Evolution highlight annbot.com/genomicevoluti… published with Tony Heitkam 🌱🔍💚 (left this site for 🟦🦋) et al beet chromosomes on the cover. New 2021 background of oak acorns is my 13th and last cover photo as I stand down as Editor.

LMann Tony Heitkam 🌱🔍💚 (left this site for 🟦🦋) Kathrin Seibt Beatrice Weber Congratulations!!

🧬🔍Excited to share that our ECCsplorer pipeline for the detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (#eccDNA) is out now; an effort that was headed by LMann. 💾Software: github.com/crimBubble/ECC… 📚Peprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6 #transposon #cancer #plants

Bold and inspiring advocacy for better science. Hope that more institutions will follow to build more open, more modern, and more inclusive science. Hire people that play in teams, work together, and make the academy a better place!

One of my first conversations with my PhD mentor about reaching a professorship in Germany over a decade ago: "It is like jumping from a 10 m high springboard into a bottle opening. Qualification will get you up the board. Only luck will help you to survive." #ichbinhanna

🌱🧬So many #repetitiveDNAs in your #angiosperms353 target capture? Can you have it all, repeats & phylogenomics from one reduced dataset? 📰Read the commentary with Sònia Garcia at Annals of Botany: doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc… 📚And visit Costa et al. for more: doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc…

Not sure if you prefer wet or dry lab work? This PhD position could be the right fit for you. Molecular biology and bioinformatics are combined to investigate the flavonoid biosynthesis. For details: lnk.tu-bs.de/Nfi8ek

There it is! My first first-author paper has been published. #eccDNA #circSeq #ECCsplorer #github Big thanks to everybody involved. bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

"CO2 im Verkehrssektor einsparen? Mit einem Tempolimit? Mit mehr Investitionen in die Bahn und den Radverkehr?🤣 Nope! Ganz sicher nicht. Hört einfach auf sinnlos euer Essen zu fotografieren, ihr kleinen Influencer." Volker Wissing

🌱Nerd alert: By now, you know that plants = strange #transposons. 🧬So imagine catching the 5S rDNA promoter and then doing your own thing. ❓But what happens, if the 5S gene itself is all over the place? Promoter mutations, weird organization...? 📚doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Sophie Maiwald Dresden with Tony Heitkam 🌱🔍💚 (left this site for 🟦🦋) evolving retrotransposons and 5S rDNA together. Lots of coevolution, but no full 5S rRNA gene with retrotransposon LTR#IBC2024

Wonderful talk about the LIFE medCLIFFS project at IBC XX by Sònia Garcia. It is always good to highlight the importance of managing invasive flora and the hard work behind it.
