plant nerd, transposable elements, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. postdoc in the Martienssen lab @ CSHL | the🐬s make me 😭| views are mine

[Matthias Benoit @Matt_Ben_]

🚨New paper, now published in @Nature! Using pan-genetics across the Solanum genus🍅🥔🍆we reveal why gene duplications🧬are major contingencies in crop engineering. My postdoc work in the Lippman lab @CSHL, in collab. with @mike_schatz and many others! https://t.co/LTrLU5kpku

Centrophilic retrotransposon integration via CENH3 chromatin in Arabidopsis @Nature from Tetsuji Kakutani & colleagues - beautiful insights into control of transposon insertion into the centromeres

Congratulations Ed Buckler on this well deserved recognition.

[Jason Lynn @BioJlynn]

This still blows my mind.

CSHL’s Rob Martienssen and colleagues discovered that plants have a backup plan when things go awry during the genetic inheritance process. https://t.co/1eiDxbfGty

Bumped back up to my feed and I was reminded how crazy it is that targeting specific TEs with small RNA rescued chromosome 5 segregation defects in the absence of DDM1 DNA methylation and endogenous small RNAs. Silencing backup is important to the program for sure.

[Jonathan Cahn @jon_cahn]

This paper led by Dr. Atsushi Shimada is out @NaturePlants! Centromere function can be dependent on a few TEs, and in RNAi mutants, small RNAs targetting these TEs are enough to reestablish normal chromosome segregation! Crazy! https://t.co/8RTJ28FCHo

As National Postdoc Appreciation Week continues, we’d like to thank our Postdoctoral Liason Committee @pdlccshl1 for their gracious contributions to the CSHL postdoc community! This is the team and their areas of study. 🧵(1/3) #NPAW2024

What do you love about being a postdoc at CSHL? A thread 🧵(1/7) #NPAW

@KatherineAE09 You're going to dig this one, and I think like the teosinte pollen drive one even better. Miss you K9!!

This was a really fun project to be a part of! Here is a fascinating example of how centromeric transposons and RNAi are integral to germline stability, helping us to understand how TE diversity and RNAi dosage can influence (epi)genetic diversity. https://t.co/fd2HUn1Fpy

@NKWhiteman Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has a great collection of interviews with biologists over many years. https://t.co/DHd8NPrxmF

[Jason Lynn @BioJlynn]

Congrats, Jack and co-authors! It has been fun to watch this story build over the years in our Delbruck in-house seminar. 🍻👏

[Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL]

Congratulations to Zach Lippman, Jack Satterlee, and the team on their plant prickle study’s front-page feature in Science magazine.

[Jonathan Cahn @jon_cahn]

So great to see this paper out in @Nature. Beautiful molecular characterization of a new toxin-antidote drive system in maize, led by Ben berube, with assistance from Martienssen lab @antnerves @CrisAlves_bio @BioJlynn and collaborators @arminscheben @jrossibarra Jerry Kermicle

[Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL]

Why was corn able to spread and adapt so rapidly across the Americas 4,000 years ago? Research from CSHL’s Rob Martienssen suggests that the answer may lie in a genetic system called Teosinte Pollen Drive. https://t.co/iC5ZB6e47Y

[Lucia Strader @LabStrader]

How do TFs recruit the transcriptional machinery? This critical cellular function is incompletely understood. Led by postdoc Nick Morffy, we experimentally identify Arabidopsis ADs at scale and use this immense dataset to create an AD predictor, TADA.
