Majority of the highly variable NLRs in maize share genomic location and contain additional target-binding domains biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I was honored to give a talk at #bog24 This project is co-advised by Rasmus Nielsen and Kirk Lohmueller

Please RT - we are seeking a new postdoc! The Williams lab at UC Berkeley (williamsplantlab.com) has a post-doc position available to study the impact of epigenetics on organ regeneration in plants.

Why do some genome regions mutate more than others? Excited to share our latest work published in The Plant Cell. H3K4me1 recruitment of DNA repair proteins in plants! 🌱🧬#PlantScience #Mutation 📜academic.oup.com/plcell/advance… 1/

We have opened sign ups for our annual "Genomes and Plant Health" workshop that includes lectures and hands on activities. It is free, in person, Berkeley campus, June 10-11 undergraduates, June 12-13 high School students. Help us spread the word: krasilevalab.org/outreach/

Excited to share our recent work on annelid comparative genomics, led by @Tom_Lewin. Using Darwin Tree of Life data, we assembled a dataset of 23 genomes and discovered lineage-specific chromosome scrambling. 1/3 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

🧵Excited to share my first author preprint detailing much of my dissertation work! Here we used gene editing to retrace the horizontal transfer of a bacterial gene that now encodes an anti-parasitoid toxin in Drosophila: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… /1

We are excited to share our updated manuscript for our NLRseek program! This is a unique partnership between @2Blades, The Sainsbury Laboratory, and the Kaneka Corporation. Thank you to our co-authors for this success Matthew Moscou @PeterVanesse @kamiljwitek @UMNPlantPath Results: 🧵

.Berkeley Plant & Microbial Biology PhD candidate Rebecca Tarnopol was selected to talk in the “Molecular mechanisms in evolution and ecology” EMBO workshop in Heidelberg! Rebecca studies a horizontally transferred gene encoding a toxin from bacteria that protects Drosophila from parasitoid wasps. Proud PI!
