Preprint alert #Meiosis4ever Here, we clarify the function of MLH1-MLH3 in meiotic crossover formation in Arabidopsis thaliana MutLγ enforces meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis thaliana biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For the Spo11/meiotic afficionados, the labs of @Spo11Rulz and Dinshaw Patel now provide notable structural and mechanistic insight, in a paper we here NatureStructMolBiol are glad to feature. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Have you ever wondered why you and your siblings are different? Join us for an exciting public talk by our post-doc Joiselle Fernandes within the walls of our greenhouse MPIPZ Cologne 🍅🌿⏰ 1 Oct, 6 pm. Find out more and register 👉 bit.ly/4gEv1VM #plantsci #scicomm

📣New research from our and Mónica Pradillo ‘s labs shows what happens when MLH1/3 complexes are lost in Arabidopsis! 🤩 Lots of unexpected findings! Special thanks to Nadia Kbiri ‼️ Genetic dissection of MutL complexes in Arabidopsis meiosis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our paper was published in nature. We discovered a new aspect of the meiotic homolog pairing process named Rapid Homolog Juxtaposition (RHJ). During RHJ, homologous loci undergo spatial juxtaposition from far apart to very close together in a short time. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Workshop on Chromosome Biology: "Plank meets Leibniz", October 8 - 10, 2024. At a meeting in Gatersleben, chromosomal biologists from MPIPZ Cologne and Leibniz IPK exchanged ideas and talked about the most recent advancements in their respective fields of study.

A reminder: UNC-Chapel Hill Chapel Hill’s UNC_Biology starts evaluating applications for a cluster of tenure track Assistant Professors: two in Plant Molecular Biology and one in Plant Evolutionary Biology this Friday so get your apps in and tell your friends! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/288640

Very nice meeting to strengthen collaboration between MPIPZ Cologne and Leibniz IPK chromosome biologists

Big congratulations to Alexander Mahlandt from the raphael mercier Lab MPIPZ Cologne on successfully passing his viva! 🎓🥂 Wishing you the best on this amazing achievement and the exciting journey ahead! 🌿 #PhDone #PhD #PlantScience #Careers

Our analysis of crossover interference in meiosis is now online: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 🎉 We introduce the interference distance L_int as a new scalar quantification (Online tool at zwicker-group.github.io/crossover-inte…). L_int allows us to compare data across species, mutants, and sexes!

Monster S02E5. Wow.

🥳Happy 🥳to share the final version now officially published in Nature Communications Repeat-based holocentromeres of the woodrush Luzula sylvatica reveal insights into the evolutionary transition to holocentricity nature.com/articles/s4146… Awesome work from Yennifer Mata-Sucre 🇻🇪 and Marie Krátká

New preprint from the lab Maximizing meiotic crossover rate reveals the map of Crossover Potential biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We pushed the meiotic crossover machinery to the limit and had some surprises! Juli Jing Qichao Lian
