So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in Nature Publishing. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by Peng Liu. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

We need a new team member! Please apply if you are interested (or tell someone you know who might be!)

Exciting soybean breakthrough! Mapped 103 cell types and 303,199 regulatory regions, unveiling gene networks and developmental shifts. A treasure for soybean biology! Great work Xuan Zhang, Ziliang Luo, Alexandre Marand!

We used the compact genome of Marchantia to identify a new regulator of chloroplasts. Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Excited to share a new paper from the CRISPR team in the Jacobsen, Doudna, and Banfield labs on viral delivery of TnpB and wRNA for transgene free germline editing in plants. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fantastic opportunity. I can HIGHLY recommend working in 307!

.Beth Molloy's 1st paper now in PLOS Pathogens A predicted parasitic nematode effector set is: 1. Big, several hundred genes 2. Diverse, 391 families - some big, most very small 3. Tightly co-regulated 4. Approx. 50% conserved in last parasitic ancestor journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Yep this is huge.

Excited to share our new preprint on the function of the H3K4me3 binding Alfin-like protein family in Arabidopsis! Great collaboration with Israel Ausin and colleagues. Department of Plant Sciences bioRxiv Plant Bio biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you or anyone you know would like to join my group in Cambridge, please let me know and apply!

Exciting new work about the PLANT EPIGENETIC CLOCK from an all-star Cambridge Plant Sciences alum. Great work Ben and team, and looking forward to digging into the work for our next journal club.

Outstanding paper. Huge congratulations Leonie and team!!
