1/ 🧬 "Can "jumping genes" create novelty? Sure. But how much of this novelty actually serves a purpose? Excited to share our latest preprint, where we report on an adaptive retrotransposon insertion driving rapid responses to herbicides biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵

Aristotle was the first to notice honeybees dancing. In 1927 Karl von Frisch decoded the waggle. How it works was "explained" by MV Srinivasan AM FRS in the 1990s. Except Laura Luebbert, PhD found his papers are junk. A 🧵 about her discovery & our report: arxiv.org/abs/2405.12998 1/

Such a gratifying surprise meeting former MPIPZ colleagues at #XVIIRBMP Castelló 2024. Some are missing in the photo; hopefully next time we can organize better for a selfie! José Jiménez-Gómez Fernando Andres MPIPZ Cologne

Nos ha costado conseguir el proyecto nacional, pero a la tercera va la vencida José Jiménez-Gómez! Proyecto del Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades concedido! CSIC CBGP

Now published in The Plant Journal! Across plant & animal domestications, there was strong selection for visual diversity, creating an incredible palate of colors & patterns. Here, we unravel the genetic/environmental basis of this in common bean! 1/n doi.org/10.1111/tpj.16…

Great news!! Our paper in the identification of unique #ABA markers for single and #combinedstresses using a #Multiomics approach has been accepted in JXB @jxbotany.bsky.social. Great collaboration with the Italian group of Prof. Lucini. @Mirim_science CEBAS-CSIC

My favorate piece of my postdoc work is published! We fused our favorite TFs with a deaminase domain that induces point mutations in DNA, mutagenizing TF binding sites across the genome. Will be a great reagent for exp. evo., as its name suggests :) academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…

Thrilled to share our study NatureCommunity, in collaboration with Denis Kutnjak, on the conservation of the molecular interface between plant and viruses!, we contribute the first comparative study including the non-vascular plant Marchantia polymorpha 🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very excited to see our paper finally out Nature Plants ! The manuscript is fully accessible from here: rdcu.be/dVjxX nature.com/articles/s4147…

Here it is - our first publication on population genomics of European beech, finally out in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…. Big thanks to everybody involved, especially first author Desanka Lazic Desanka Lazic!

For this study, we resequenced beech trees from 100 populations across the distribution range. We find that genetics largely mirror geography.
