Sometimes corn gets confused. Honestly I don't remember if this was a tassel that decided it was actually an ear or an ear that decided it was a tassel.

I’m delighted to share our work on scrambling the human genome using prime editing, repetitive elements, and recombinases Science Magazine! Raphael Ferreira @LeopoldParts Tom Ellis, george church @SangerInstitute science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Lots of changes from the preprint. A🧵

Our telomere identification toolkit is finally published: academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… Our tool predicts short canonical telomeric repeats well, and if it doesn’t, it indicates odd telomere structure. Check it out!

A new review, published on Valentine's Day! We explore the future study of contemporary polyploid speciation such as Cardamine insueta in Switzerland, building on discussions from the Polyploidy 2023 conference led by Soltis Lab @UF and Patrick P. Edger. doi.org/10.1111/nph.20…

#TAIR is uptaking an abusive business model where you have to pay for every use and rising the licenses to up to 10k/year. TAIR is based on resources built by scientists and it ahould be a nonprofit service.

🚀 Our collaborative work with Mónica Pradillo , "Genetic dissection of MutL complexes in Arabidopsis meiosis," is now published in NAR! 🌱 doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… 🔬 We show that MutLγ is crucial for ZMM-dependent crossovers, with MUS81 unable to fully compensate for its loss.

Paper "Triploid bridges enable gene flow in mixed-ploidy populations of Cardamine amara" published in Molecular Ecology! doi.org/10.1111/mec.17… The study reveals how rare triploids help overcome ploidy barriers and mediate gene flow between diploid and tetraploid populations.

Thrilled to announce our study on the histone variant H2A.W & pericentromeric crossovers is now out in PNAS! We show that loss/knockdown of H2A.Ws boosts meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis pericentromeric regions: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I'm psyched to see our latest collaborative paper come out in The Plant Cell in which we show that Aurora 1 kinase is an APC/C substrate that mediates spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in #Meiosis: academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Join us this Friday morning for seminar: Franz Boideau Franz Boideau from IMBB AMU Poznań #Geneome Biology Lab Piotr Ziolkowski will give a talk on the mechanisms controlling meiotic crossovers! #meiosis
