Thrilled to announce our study on the histone variant H2A.W & pericentromeric crossovers is now out in PNAS! We show that loss/knockdown of H2A.Ws boosts meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis pericentromeric regions: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

(1/17) We are excited to share the Ashraf and Gallagher labs collaboration on cell cycle regulation during environmental stress recovery in Arabidopsis, Brachypodium, and ryegrass.

Great work Rachel, Wei Tian Wei Tian Ecker lab and our long term collaborators Marga Behrens’s and Bing Ren’s groups

Newly elected NAS international member Keiko U. Torii of NaturalSciences @ UT investigates how positional cues influence cell-fate decisions, translating into functional tissue patterning during the development of multicellular organisms. Read more: ow.ly/uZ8y50VFxvE #NASmember

Our paper is just out nature.com/articles/s4147… from the Jacobsen, Doudna, and Banfield labs on viral delivery of a tiny CRISPR system for transgene free germline editing in plants, tinyurl.com/3k223r3x.  Looking for postdocs to join the team for the next phase of this work!

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please RT 💚

Single-cell genomics gives us a sharper lens 🔬 to see how gene expression diverges and how cis-regulatory elements evolve and shift in duplicated genes 🧬. A dynamic new view of regulation is emerging—check out the paper for insights! #SingleCell #Genomics #CREs

Popular methods like UMAP & t-SNE are stochastic and distort data structure. Bonsai - a novel method - builds trees to relate high-dimensional objects, accounting for measurement noise. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share a preprint describing my new method, Dam-IT (DamID-seq Incorporating Transcriptomics)! Dam-IT simultaneously captures TF-DNA binding, gene regulation, and chromatin accessibility from the same batch of plant cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our new publication out today in Nature Plants where we quantitatively dissect synergy and antagonism that occurs during Nicotiana benthamiana transient agroinfiltration. Congrats to Simon, Matthew, Mitch and all other co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4147…

Glad to see this out! The ability to map protein footprints with high resolution has been missing in the field, but no longer. Finally some definitive answers on the regulatory potential of maize transposons. Fantastic work by Josh Cuperus and co. nature.com/articles/s4147…

We're excited to share another work from our lab this week. We present ENTRAP-seq, the first massively parallel reporter assay to characterize protein-coding libraries in plants. Congrats to Simon, Lucas, and all other co-authors. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Big leap forward in GRN inference by Manu Saraswat & a great example of how deep learning models can reveal fabulous biology when developers really make an effort to design them and use them for discovery.

Excited to share my new Tansley Review New Phytologist on emerging single-cell and spatial omics technologies, many of which are just beginning to be applied in plant biology! Big opportunities lie ahead for the field. [1/n]  nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Development of this new genetic tool was sparked by a spontaneous discussion at a scientific conference. One two-year NSF EAGER grant to jump-start the work and 5 more years of "side projects" by 18 talented scientists made EBSn possible. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wow
