If you want to start with machine learning and want a hands-on tutorial that goes straight to coding: "Intro to Machine Learning" from Kaggle will help you build your first model! • 8 lessons. • 100% free. • Prerequisites: Python It will take you ~3 hours to complete.

Interspecies transfer of syntenic RAMOSA1 orthologs and promoter cis sequences impacts maize inflorescence architecture biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #plantscience ♻️

We are super excited to welcome The CapituLab's first graduate student Brannan Cliver this week! brannan will be studying Alabama endemic Asters, building new genomes and working toward understanding their development. So happy to have her on board!

Drastic differential CRISPR-Cas9 induced mutagenesis influenced by DNA methylation and chromatin features biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

Our new preprint is up 🎉 -biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We found an odd result while modeling the evolution of TE copy # using sims in SLiM - when we allowed TEs to transpose freely, TE fams that preferentially resulted in neutral insertions more often drove host pops extinct - 1/11

New promoter tracks with 2 types of glyphs: a color-coded box showing the 1kb promoter region just 5' of each transcript and predicted core promoter elements (CPE) based on JASPAR profiles. The tracks help provide context for other data with the TSS. On the v5 and NAM browsers.

thecapitulab is ready for an awesome #Botany2022 meeting! Be sure to check out brannan (PCB004) and Reid Selby (PDS010) posters this evening if you’re at the meeting to hear about their amazing conservation genomics and flower development work!

🌻Ever wonder how the capitulum evolved? Excited to announce our NSF PGRP award to ask that question! Work will generate new genomic resources across Asterales, Dipsacales and Apiales to address broad questions related to capitulum development and evolution Daniel Jones jmb, phd

Amazing opportunity here - definitely consider applying! Great science, wonderful mentorship, AND you'll be surrounded with beautiful flowers while you work!

The definition of bittersweet - so incredibly excited to see what Nathan Springer gets into next at Bayer | Crop Science, but he will be sorely missed at UMN. Nathan helped me navigate a transition into monocot genomics, and I've learned so much from his outlook on science and research.

After many years of hard work, I am super excited to share this manuscript on the importance of intentionally addressing equity in the classroom! (1/5) nsta.org/journal-colleg…

@alex_marand Did a wonderful job of pulling this together with co-authors. I definitely learned way more than I contributed here. Great job Alex, Kerstin and Andrea annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Our pre-print “Spatial Co-transcriptomics Reveals Discrete Stages of the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis” is now available online. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… Check it out to learn how single-nuclei and spatial RNA-seq were combined to tackle complexities of the AM symbiosis! 🌱🍄

Check out my first review! The diversity of peptide hormone systems in plants is truly amazing. I learned so much in the writing process. Thanks so much to Daniel Jones for writing this with me and helping me through the whole process. Stay tuned for future thecapitulab pubs

This looks so useful, I'll definitely be playing around with it soon!

Save the Date🗓️— The 3rd Plant Cell Atlas Symposium & Synthetic Biology Hackathon are coming in August 2024! Registration will open at a later date.

Our first inking that something might be amiss with the accepted story of maize origins occurred 13 years ago. Thanks to the efforts of Ning Yang those hints from long ago are now a new model of maize origins, out today: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
