They are going to gut basic research and most people won't even notice because we won't pay a price until the next time we need deep knowlege about something that doesn't seem important right now.

@Matt_Ben_ @Nature @CSHL @mike_schatz Beautiful paper!

[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

A new 3D chromatin 🧬map in brown algae is out
@NatureComms
! New insights on UV chromosome structure and an acient endogenous viral element (EVE) interacts with telomeres!

Congratulations Pengfei Liu, Susana Coelho, Chang Liu and all team @MPI_Bio

The degree to which researchers in animal models completely ignore plants when making sweeping generalizations about phenomena common to all eukaryotes is disappointing, particularly when the plant research is obviously relevant.

As a proud co-advisor of @SodaiL who showed remarkable intellectual independence to enable this project, check out his amazing R package {phylomapr} and new {myTAI2} functions which will make your own research much easier:

A transcriptomic molecular hourglass in the third most complex multicellular eukaryotic group!

Congratulations to all authors, very nice job 🦠

[Hajk-Georg Drost @HajkDrost]

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

Wonderful news!! #sRNA rules!!🎊

Very very well deserved, but the importance of miRNA research on plants have been overlooked again.🌱

Really enjoyed writing this @NaturePlants
news featuring the work by Yuan et al. https://t.co/coWsydyt4d showing that RNA polymerase V (Pol V) plays a role in regulating plant immunity, independently of its well-established function in RdDM and DNA methylation!🧐🧬🍃🌱

@I_Rubio_Somoza @NatureComm @DenisKutnjak Wow, great work - congratulations Nacho! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🙂

[Elena Baena-González @EBaena_Gonzalez]

Sixteen years ago I went to Portugal to start my lab in this unique place. I am VERY sad to see it in its ashes now. RIP IGC and thank you to all of those that made it so special 💔💔💔

[Elena Baena-González @EBaena_Gonzalez]

Busy month with many excellent meetings (Plant Energy Management, EMA2024, upcoming AMPK2024). So, here is a LATE thread on our most recent work with @BenoitLandrein, Henrik Jönsson, @PauFormosa, and John Lunn

@dcb40 Great news, David! Congratulations!

[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

@Seb_EvdA Congratulations 🎉 👏 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 Sebastian! Great news!

“Overly competitive labs where students do not support one another can hinder personal and collective growth.”

Well-said, @KamounLab. Prospective PhD students should read this piece on red flags to look out for when selecting a lab: https://t.co/9np70ENyHL
