I am recruiting an #ERC funded PostDoc to work on the evolution of vertebral counts in Lake Malawi cichlids. This is an experimental project & you should have experience generating reporter lines, live-imaging & experimental embryology. Apply by 25th Feb. tinyurl.com/33jbu8fa

🚨Preprint 🚨 I'm really happy to finally share our exploits in red algae and introduce the wider community to Bostrychia, the new model system we have been developing to tackle the molecular biology of red algae. Isn't she a beauty? Thread below 🧵 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bostrychia is part of the Ceramiales, the most diverse order of red algae that stand out for their complex morphology & sophisticated reproduction. We present a chromosome-level genome for Bostrychia and unveil genome evolution in this dominant group of stunning red seaweeds. 2/8

This genome is over ten-times longer than that of other reds, challenging the notion that red algal genomes are small. We posit that genomic expansion may be a general feature of red algal evolution and explore how this is linked with evolutionary radiation of the Ceramiales. 3/8

Polyploidy & whole genome duplication are not the cause for genomic expansion but is largely driven by a single lineage of giant Plavaka DNA transposons, which carry cargo genes that potentially bind their own sequence and/or modulate chromatin or transcription. 4/8

A big genome often means more genes, and we indeed see this in Bostrychia. This was shaped both by new gene birth and gene family expansions shared among the Ceramiales, providing insight into the genetic adaptations underpinning the evolutionary success of this order. 5/8

Finally, our sex-specific assemblies have resolved large gene-rich UV sex chromosomes in Bostrychia. Most striking is a pair of sex-linked TALE-HD TFs orthologous to BEL/KNOX, prompting questions about their role in regulating the life cycle in this group of red seaweeds. 6/8

The red algal transition to multicellularity is among the oldest across eukaryotes. Given the common evolutionary origin of red seaweeds and plants, we provide new insight into the evolution of complex multicellularity and highlight this fascinating but overlooked lineage. 7/8

I would like to thank all the co-authors involved in this work @MPI_Bio Tuebingen, Rory Craig and other at the University of Melbourne and University of Copenhagen Research. And a special mention to Romy Petroll, the PhD student who has been the driving force behind this proud body of work. 8/8

🚨New paper, now published in nature! Using pan-genetics across the Solanum genus🍅🥔🍆we reveal why gene duplications🧬are major contingencies in crop engineering. My postdoc work in the Lippman lab Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, in collab. with Michael Schatz and many others! nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper out! We analysed the progeny of a single selfed hemp plant for genetic and phenotypic variability. Turns out it's substantial, with many genotype-phenotype associations established using "GSAS". nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to share our new paper Cell, where we show 4mC occurs in 50% of CpGs in Marchantia sperm, and regulates sperm transcription and fertility. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
