The first of the publications produced while working on the wonderful system of Dactylorhiza during the PhD at Plant Ecological & Evolutionary Genomics UniVienna, Universität Wien, PopGenViennaPhD is now published and available at: doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Happy to share our new paper published in @MolBiolEvol: Repeat dynamics across timescales: a perspective from sibling allotetraploid marsh #orchids doi.org/10.1093/molbev… #polyploidy #transposableElements #mobileDNA MimmiCecilia 1st author, Terezie Mandakova, Jamie & others

MimmiCecilia Terezie Mandakova Jamie 5 sibling natural #allopolyploids of progressive ages grant a perspective through time on #transposableElement activity and genome dynamics post-polyploidization. We find no evidence for a generalized and significant genomic shock in these marsh orchids. doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

We find an increase in TE content and #genomeSize, but this is mainly driven by a particular TE in all 5 #polyploids. In general TE content increase does not follow immediately after #polyploidization, spans many tenK generations and later stabilizes. doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Read a press release around #polyploidy and #transposableElements by Universität Wien on our paper doi.org/10.1093/molbev… recently published in Molecular Biology and Evolution 'Jumping genes don't follow duplication events': lifesciences.univie.ac.at/news-events/ne…

Last week Gil Yardeni PhD did an EXCELLENT job defending her new title in front of @NormWickett, Clarisse Palma-Silva and Oleg Simakov.

Our newest pre-print links small-scale #StructuralVariation to shifts in #CAM/#C3 #metabolism as key innovation traits driving South American #Tillandsia #AdaptiveRadiation. Great work by Clara Groot Crego with @TiBoLeroyInEn and @kheyduk. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… #Bromeliaceae

We compared 2 #Tillandsia genomes and identified several large scale #StructuralVariants. However, major gene expression differences between #CAM and #C3 #metabolism appeared associated with rapid gene family evolution and #TransposableElement activity. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

We release here the first pair of related #CAM/#C3 genomes, the first high quality genomes for #Tillandsia, and third for #Bromeliaceae. The genomes exhibit some of the highest #TransposableElement contents, and an intriguing GC content landscape. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Finally, our study includes a time-series #RNAseq experiment with 6 time points across a 24 h cycle, which provides rich information on #C3 and #CAM, a water-efficient form of photosynthetic #metabolism. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… #Bromeliacea #Tillandsia
