We've known for a long time that a large fraction of noncoding GWAS hits are not currently explained by eQTLs. Why?? I'm excited to share our new preprint on this! Take home: GWAS and eQTL assays maximize power for different types of variants. (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

gget alphafold: Predict the 3D structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence using @DeepMind’s AlphaFold v2.0 from a Python or command-line environment in 3 lines of code. Runs on any laptop and requires only ~4 GB of disk space. Simply ‘pip install gget’ and:

The pre-print of our paper is released. It was a lot of hard work, but we finally made it! Check out our work on the grapevine cultivar Börner and the phylloxera resistance locus Rdv1 and explore the candidate genes. @Seeste3 Julius Kühn-Institut

My review went live today. I argue that transcription factors find their binding sites using both protein-protein interactions and DNA binding interactions. It's halfway between a review and a perspective. academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…

Our paper is out today in Science Magazine! We created huge collection of tools for constructing/tuning synthetic genetic circuits in plants and used them to engineer root structure 🌱 So excited for the future of #plantsynbio! 🌱💻 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
