Happy to announce the beta release of #BiGSCAPE2! This is the result of a great effort by Arjan Draisma, Catarina Loureiro and Nico Louwen, who worked tirelessly to improve the code from the ground up! See the major features here github.com/medema-group/B…

Thrilled and honored to have been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant! We’ll explore why beetles lose genes — only to rely on symbionts instead 🪲🦠 Incredibly proud of the team and excited for this project to take off w/ some remarkable beetles! bio.mpg.de/466825/news_pu…

Happy to share that our Helixer deeplearning-based annotation of 230 superasterid genomes is now online on Dryad 💻🌱 doi.org/10.5061/dryad.… Check out how we used 69 of them to study the molecular evolution of a plant immune receptor network here! 👇

Who shapes the lives of insects? Of course bacteria! If you want to know more how Sodalis nezarae and others do it, check out my latest #FEMSmicroBlog fems-microbiology.org/femsmicroblog-…

Excited to share my new Tansley Review New Phytologist on emerging single-cell and spatial omics technologies, many of which are just beginning to be applied in plant biology! Big opportunities lie ahead for the field. [1/n]  nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Excited to share this piece I wrote for Asimov Press with all of you on how evolutionary solutions to defense and counter-defense in the form of toxic proteins and peptides have been and could been co-opted by us as new drugs.

Excited to preprint work mainly by former postdocs Li Feng, Yingnan Hou Yingnan Hou, and the phylogenomics genius AmirAli Toghani The Sainsbury Laboratory. We found a plant defense gene family enabling pathogen gene silencing & explored engineering this pathway to boost disease resistance!
