Really excited about this breakthrough by Luis Brieba and his group to express and purify plant MSH1 in functional form. Lots of additional avenues and ongoing work to understand its mechanisms for controlling recombination and mutation rates. academic.oup.com/pcp/advance-ar…

Delighted to present our paper on how plants segregate mtDNA and ptDNA damage (their version of the "mitochondrial bottleneck") here nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… (quick summary here eurekalert.org/news-releases/… ) Thanks Dan Sloan for another great collaboration! 1/

Here's a (rather unscripted!) video giving a bit of background on our recent maths + bio study in New Phytologist: how plants sort out mtDNA and ptDNA damage youtu.be/PCEbyCnnZoE?fe… via YouTube (paper link below...)

New work by Gus Waneka: UV treatment produces 26-nt mitochondrial DNA fragments in yeast – and related findings in plants+flies. What’s going on here? Novel mtDNA repair or degradation pathway??? Would love ideas and input! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our study on the respiration of the holoparasitic plant Lophophytum mirabile. OXPHOS works just fine despite the tremendous impact of horizontal gene transfer from its host! doi.org/10.1016/j.cpb.…

Congratulations to Federico Ceriotti from María Virginia Sanchez Puerta, CONICET-UNCuyo, 🇦🇷, awarded an IUBMB Wood-Whelan Fellowship to Dan Sloan at CSU Department of Biology, Colorado State University,🇺🇸, to work on "The Essential tRNA Hypothesis – Overcoming the final barriers to complete plastid genome loss".

Do you know that 2/3 of available plant genomes were sequenced in the last three years (20-23)? See summary Nature Plants Technology-enabled great leap in deciphering plant genomes nature.com/articles/s4147… Visit N3 database (plaNts, geNomes, techNologies) : ibi.zju.edu.cn/N3database/

Reposting this open postdoctoral position to work with me, Erin Bertrand and Alastair Simpson on the exciting Anaeramoeba-Desulfobacter symbiosis!!!!

Very happy to share our new preprint with Federico Ceriotti, jess, and María Virginia Sanchez Puerta using specialized sequencing techniques to characterize #tRNA aminoacylation and post-transcriptional modifications in #Arabidopsis. Feedback appreciated! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wrapping up a four-week workshop on scientific writing with a great group of students, as part of the PhD Program in Science and Technology, FCEN, UNCUYO. Such a pleasure to co-teach this course with my friend/colleague María Virginia Sanchez Puerta.

How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

An interactive PAML Wiki is now available! Please read the thread published by Ziheng's Lab to learn more about the PAML discussion group & the PAML GitHub. Hope you enjoy the Wiki as much as I enjoyed working on it 💫 P.S.: The Wiki is still a work in progress, more to come! 😄
