Great opportunity to share our work on plant gene regulatory networks in maize at #cshlplant. Credit to Peng Zhou for his excellent coexpression analyses. Thanks to Nathan Springer, Sarah N. Anderson, Jaclyn Noshay, Peter Crisp, Peng Zhou for all the support to attend. 🌽genome.

My take on on the latest study from Nathan Springer and colleagues predicting heat and cold stress response in maize using cis-regulatory information is now available at The Plant Cell: academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

A fresh 11” of very nice powder ⁦Itasca Biological Station & Labs⁩ & one killer #sundog before driving on a skating rink all the way to Long Prairie before hitting pavement. I left ski-able snow behind - someone better get up there.

May be my last Maize Meeting in a while… thanks to all who stopped by to chat with me about TE outward-reading promoters! #MGM2022 🌽🧬

A great project and pair of groups for a budding PhD student!

🚨 We've got a new preprint out 🚨 - We developed a series of logical frameworks for analyzing how transposable element content contributes to structural variation (SV) within maize 🌽🧬🌽. How'd we do this + what did we find?? - 1/11

“…the Mu promoter often provides gene expression levels and patterns that are similar to the wild-type gene.” Fascinating how this notoriously mutagenic TE has actually evolved to be relatively benign.
