Annotation is THE big challenge in #Genomics. Happy to share our latest preprint about some annotation issues and how to find them: Identification of annotation artifacts concerning the CHALCONE SYNTHASE (CHS) doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… #Bioinformatics #DataScience

The complexity of secondary succession in forest made clear in a great talk by Lourens Poorter at #npnextgen New Phytologist

🧬 30 Days of Great Biology Papers. From the origins of the genetic code to pioneering work on circadian rhythms...these are my favorite snapshots from the history of biology. All the papers — and explanations — in a single thread: 🧵

You can make an entire figure in R using the patchwork package. A tutorial is available at my GitHub to generate this exact figure (github.com/cxli233/Online…). It covers controlling layout, relative heights/widths of panels, hierarchical assembly, and position of letter labels.

The hot plant mystery 🌡️🌼 Some Amorphophallus species can heat themselves >20c hotter than the surrounding air temperature! Not all share this power though. Why such variation, and why get hot in the first place? 🔎👉kew.org/read-and-watch…

Check out these leaves from the same Quercus cerris tree! 🍃 It's like trying to identify a single actor playing all the roles in a shape-shifting one-man show. In the world of paleobotany, this is our version of a plot twist! 🥲 #Paleobotany

We are looking for an enthusiastic Project Officer to participate in an exciting, interdisciplinary project aiming to understand the responses of monocot crops to abiotic stress and predict stress resilience of the crops under these stresses. mycareersfuture.gov.sg/job/sciences/p…
