With Erin Sigel, @SutherlandBL and Stacy Holt crushing Salvina molesta in TX/LA. Rather than Planes, Trains, and Automobiles it's boots, waders and kayaks...

Just released our new method in bioRxiv Evobio bioRxiv Genomics for generating genome scale variation cheaply and easily: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Meet our grads! Sam Skibicki is a Ph.D. student working with Craig Barrett, studying the phylogenomics (and evolution) of Zinniinae, a flowering plant subtribe in the sunflower tribe. His work has taken him to a valley in Central Mexico, the only place this plant grows! 1/2

Want to learn more? Recent research on the hybridization of another plant produced by the whole Craig Barrett lab was published in Plant Species Biology : bit.ly/2L0aUHz 2/2

Come work with us on invasive plant genomics this summer!

Nothing is official until it hits Twitter! @SutherlandBL @MaribethLatvis Michael McKain James Beck Craig Barrett
