Well, I don’t know where the 50-fold improvement comes from, but we did improve the assembly in terms of contiguity, completeness and correctness. Thank all the co-authors again for their help and support!

Well done, @_Michaela_Jung! And this was just the starting point of using #AI for #genomic #prediction in #plant #breeding. Thank you @Agroscope for the nice collaboration. D-USYS@ETH ETH Zurich Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center @ethzWFSC #MPBpresentation

@_Michaela_Jung , a postdoc Agroscope and Mol. Plant Breeding ETH Zurich, receives the 15th Professor Albert Soenen Prize for her work in #apple #breeding. Her research developed #GenomicSelection approaches that make apple breeding more efficient. Congrats!🙌🍎usys.ethz.ch/en/news-events…

Many thanks to ETH Zurich Mol. Plant Breeding and especially @crop_science_eth for letting me demonstrate microscopes to my daughters first year class. Kids love microscopes and we all had fun with science

that is not a molecular tool😀

🌾Why is #buckwheat rarely grown in Switzerland? ETH Zurich student and buckwheat researcher Fabian Hess discussed with SRF-1 . Lack of breeding has led to suboptimal yields, but that's set to change. Great for crop rotation and bees! 🐝 Check it out👉 go.ethz.ch/6
