We are looking for a dynamic, curious postdoc candidate arabidopsis.org/download_files…

For those interested in epigenetics, we have a new position

Sammy is an excellent Computational Biologist!

So damn tired of living in a country that treats Black grief as a threat and white rage as a sacrament

Thank to postdoc Min Wang for her excellent work and best of luck for your future endeavors in the UK!

Interested in PEBPs - modulators of plant life history traits in response to environmental cues? Our recent review about these small mobile proetins just out academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

Very excited about the LFY pioneer publication & thank you to all that made it happen! To discovering more of these type of powerful transcription factors that license cell fate changes eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2…

Congrats to former graduate student Un-Sa Lee and postdoc Tomek Bieluszewski or their work describing transcriptional poising by H2A.Z at the AGAMOUS locus, at a regulatory region that has both enhancer and Polycomb recruitment activity.…ncedirect-com.proxy.library.upenn.edu/science/articl…

Fantastic talks, thought provoking discussions, ice cream and more. Thank you Kim Gallagher, Mike Scanlon and Teva Vernoux @teva_vernoux for putting together such a wonderful plant development meeting #MPDSRC22.

#ThrowbackTGSThurs ICYMI: Biologists led by Penn’s Doris Wagner identified the chromatin-loosening protein LEAFY, which allows plants to change their final body plan via gene expression. Read the full study in Nature Communications: ow.ly/cRKW50Kzi4f

For those interested in ChIP-seq (and similar) data analysis we present a facile and versatile method for removal of artifactual signal and for enrichment of true peaks. Kudos to lead author Sammy Klasfeld Samantha Klasfeld -- open to work and postdoc Thomas Roulé Thomas Roule doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

Thank you Luis López-Molina inviting me for the LSSS seminar at the University of Geneva. Enjoyed hearing about the exiting research by @roman_ulm, Marcos Gonzalez-Gaitan Gonzalez-Gaitan Lab, Ramesh Pillai, Florian Steiner, Simon Braun, Guillaume Andrey and meeting the active students and postdocs!
