Postdoc opportunity in my future lab at the Ohio State University!!! We will study transposable elements' response to abiotic stresses in plants using modern sequencing. Nice location, Well paid, Great benefits, Starts on Jan 3rd, 2023. Please RT. Apply: osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/job…

Great talk Manuel Spannagl . Great continued progress of our pan-genome work on bread wheat! #2022IWC 2ND international wheat congress!

I also prepared a poster for the 2nd International Wheat Congress at Beijing. Check out how a simple scan of the genome of 9 plant species identified short primer sequences that can amplify hundreds of thousands of restriction amplicons for breeding marker generation! #2022-IWC

Also update: I finally got a formal job offer from a company based in Los Angeles, California. Although I havenot decided whether to take the leap of faith to dive into human medical bioinformatics, but it is a progress I guess 😀.

Nice talk Brande Wulff and for presenting our great works on wild wheats! #2022iwc

Huge congratulations to Prof Robert (Bob) McIntosh, for the Lifetime Achievement Award in the 2nd International Wheat Congress!!🎉🎉 PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney Sydney Agriculture Sydney Science University of Sydney #2022IWC

Congratulations to Jim Anderson for receiving the Plant Breeding Impact Award from the National Association of Plant Breeders. Jim was recognized for his work in cultivar development, marker applications, undergraduate and graduate education, and service and leadership.

Delighted to see our Genomics-informed prebreeding strategy published in Nature Genetics nature.com/articles/s4158… The strategy can be utilised to bring PGRs from CIMMYT ICAR-NBPGR #Genebanks into main breeding pipeline

" #Genebanks worldwide make an important contribution to the conservation of biological #Diversity . In the Federal Ex situ Gene Bank at the Leibniz IPK Institute alone, more than 150,000 old varieties are preserved." Reseaerch team: Leibniz IPK Julius Kühn-Institut KWS Group

Congrats Thomas!

Interested in taking a noncredit Zoom course this spring? Look no further than Breeding for Quantitative Traits in Plants with our very own Rex Bernardo. Registration opens in November, but we're so excited we thought we'd announce early! DM for more information. CFANS

Quardruple vaccinated 3 Moderna + 1 Pfizer. 😀

Excited for receiving one of the Special Mentions of the Carlotta Award at the #FSTP4 Congratulations to all the winners 🌾🇮🇹 Thanks to ICARDA and the Wheat Initiative

Deep learning based genomic prediction methods can start outperforming conventional GP once you get into the thousands of samples. Tested using data from 1,404 maize lines evaluated in five locations, plus wheat and tomato datasets (h/t Matt Zinselmeier): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36366781/

Congrats to our own KSU Plant Path team Jagger Harvey & Jared Crain on exciting $22M USAID project. Eduard Akhunov + WGRC are key partners. The overall project team is well equipped to make major impact in cereal production in our changing climate. Read more: k-state.edu/media/newsrele…
