Happy to see this paper on hybrid allele-specific chromatin binding sequencing (HASCh-seq), to which I made a small contribution, is finally out. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A natural surge protector buffers the delicate photosynthetic systems of corn against sudden changes in light intensity. Can we use existing genetic diversity to fine tune that surge protector? Congratulations Seema Sahay & Marcin Grzybowski! doi.org/10.1111/nph.18…

Our preprint is up!

Genetically controlled differences between how photosynthesis changes in different corn plants stressed by a lack of nitrogen. New preprint from Seema Sahay @grzybowski Marcin Grzybowski & Kasia Glowacka. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our first inking that something might be amiss with the accepted story of maize origins occurred 13 years ago. Thanks to the efforts of Ning Yang those hints from long ago are now a new model of maize origins, out today: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our resequencing for a common maize genetic marker dataset paper selected as a MaizeGDB Editorial Board pick! Specifically calls out how this enable "remixing and reuse" of genetic and phenotypic trait data. 😀Marcin Grzybowski The Plant Journal maizegdb.org/hot_new_papers…

In a new paper in Nature Plants we IDed a mechanism how the host plant genotype (🌽) contributes to the recruitment of its root microbiome. We identified a 🌽 gene that modulates lateral root density by regulating the abundance of specific bacteria under N-deficiency in soil. 1/2

Very impressed with my first experience publishing in Journal of Plant Physiology. Knowledgeable and thoughtful reviews and only 10 days from "it's accepted!" to the complete journal formatted PDF up online. Five stars. Would submit again. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Using autoencoders -- an unsupervised ML approach -- to derive plant traits from hyperspectral reflectance data. Potentially bypasses the need for extensive labeled datasets. Big thank you to lead author Michael Tross and our @aii4ra collaborators. doi.org/10.1002/ppj2.2…

I am looking for a postdoc to work on maize and wheat transcriptomics and metabolomics at the population scale. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss project details! euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/324985

One single ONT PromethION flowcell produced 90Gb data and resulted in a genome assembly with N50 at 140Mb. Impressive. I'm sure it is still far away from its optimal ability.
