Targeting conserved regions of #kinetochore proteins KNL1 and NDC80 provides antibodies for labeling #centromeres across a spectrum of seed plants ! Great work by Ludmila Oliveira & Pavel Neumann in collaboration with Yi-Tzu Kuo, Yennifer Mata-Sucre 🇻🇪 and André Marques. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

2023 has been a special year: we released glittr.org. Since then it grew to more than 500 repos with #bioinformatics #training material. Kudos to all the contributors! Especially to Patricia Palagi - Hope for better 🇧🇷 🚩🌟! and Yann Haefliger. Below are some top 3s of topics, organizations, and repos.
