H3K4me1 recruits DNA repair proteins in plants academic.oup.com/plcell/article… interesting findings! Grey Monroe The Plant Cell

Excited about our second preprint! In this POC study, we employed our panspecific flc mutants and identified cryptic variation in adaptive phenotypes + FLC pleiotropic effects, an overlooked part of the flowering spectrum, and more. ➡️ tinyurl.com/3ch9ujda @PlantEvolution

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in Nature Publishing. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by Peng Liu. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

It’s finally out!! 🥳 Our paper on the recovery of ancient chromosomes and 3D genome structure of a 52,000 year-old woolly mammoth just got published by Cell 🦣🧊

Let's try something new: I am looking for bioinfo collaborators that know how to analyze DNA methylation, lncRNA and sRNA data, preferably in plants, for time series stress data. The aim is to improve and re-submit this manuscript: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest preprint on the mechanistic origin and evolution of CHH DNA methyltransferase CMT2 and how it diverged from CMT3 to achieve substrate specificity.

Gene Myers just released super fast whole genome aligner github.com/thegenemyers/F…. He and Chenxi Zhou and I have lots of ideas for downstream use.

Retrotransposon addiction promotes centromere function via epigenetically activated small RNAs nature.com/articles/s4147… Nature Plants

Our preprint has been positively reviewed by elife! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… We found no effect of effective population size on genome size evolution or transposable element dynamics. This is the main project of Alba Marino's PhD. Congratulations to her!

Preprint alert 🚨 As we gear up to share out exploits in red algae, we took a detour down the green lineage to piece together the evolutionary dyanmics of epigenetic gene silencing in plants 🌱🤓 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I wrote a Quick Guide on Red Algae for Current Biology, check it out for some beautiful images ❤️

Excited to share our team's discovery on tissue-like multicellularity in archaea under mechanical compression! Led by theopi, Olivia Leland & Alex Bisson, it rethinks the evolution of multicellularity beyond eukaryotes. HFSP @MPI_Bio biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Does the aggregation of complex multicellularity follow a universal developmental pattern across the eukaryotic tree of life? Thrilled to announce that we found a convergently evolved transcriptomic hourglass pattern in brown algal development. nature 👉nature.com/articles/s4158…

This work follows a 15K young allotetraploid Arabidopsis suecica through its origin and evolution along a polyploid cycle♻️. Robin Rurns,Aboli, Anna Glushkevich, Uliana Kolesnikova, @FilipKolar7, @alisondawnscott biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Natural variation modifies centromere proximal meiotic crossover frequency and segregation distortion in Arabidopsis thaliana biorxiv.org/content/10.110… new work from us on centromere inheritance and organisation Nicola Gorringe Matt Naish Fernando Rabanal

Beautiful collaboration led by Tetsuji Kakutani and Sayuri Tsukahara on unravelling the fine changes that can make a centrophobic TE become centrophilic and vice versa! The devil is in the details for these TEs. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Abundant clock proteins point to missing molecular regulation in the plant circadian clock | Molecular Systems Biology embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… We predicted and measured the abundance of clock proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana.

📢 Excited to share our work out now in nature! 📢 We present the phased pan-genome of the European tetraploid potato, based on 10 historical cultivars representing 85% of European potato diversity. Learn more below! 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/7
