My Google Scholar word cloud - almost as if I worked with #fungi, #genomes and powdery mildew a lot 😁 Pietro Spanu Björn Sabelleck Jiangzhao Jan Hübbers Sylvain Raffaele Hèba Ibrahim Florian Kuemmel Niloofar shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/scho…

Disturbing visual similarities aside, which is worse? A laughably flawed AI anatomical hallucination that nobody took seriously, or a massive NIH project misusing UMAP hallucinations that wildly exaggerate genetic differences between races?

📢Happy to see our latest publication 📜on the 3D genome of #Verticillium, previously on bioRxiv, now online in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/dzvgv 🎉🍾. Great work by David T Vittorio Martin Kramer Gabriel Lorencini Fiorin David E Cook & Michael F Seidl

The April 2024 issue of The Plant Cell is now online! ASPB Oxford University Press buff.ly/3GvIUT4 #PlantSci

It was just a weekend project, exploring the intricate aspects of 3D animation. Now, the "blender" trichome is on the April issue's cover of The Plant Cell .

Time to ditch BioRender? I had no idea they were claiming copyright to the figures we make with it, even after we pay for use of the service.

Zoe Bernasconi uses gain-of-virulence mutants on wheat powdery mildew resistance genes to identify avirulence genes. AvrXpose uses subsequent irradiation of an avirulent isolate with UV-C light on susceptible 🌾 leaves. Read Here: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-0…

Are you still struggling with the manual curation of TEs? Do you want to know the magic of cleaning TE MSAs with only a single button click? Welcome to try TEtrimmer (paper will come soon) github.com/qjiangzhao/TEt… I am also looking forward to discussing this with you in #ICTE2024
