New pre-print alert! 📢 A comprehensive study on chemical-induced priming in oak seedlings. Led by @RosaSanchezLuc1 & Jack Bosanquet and the collaboration of @CatmaCator and @vpastorfuentes

For who want to try it, #mobileRNA is a freely available and easy to use R tool available on @Bioconductor:

In several simulated examples, both intra and extra-species combinations, we found that this approach results in a dramatic reduction of the noise and virtually not false positives.

and a much more reliable estimation of transcript accumulation:

In the analysis of graft-mobile RNA molecules (small RNA and transcripts) in #heterografting conditions involving two #genotypes, we merge the two genomes involved into a single reference before the alignment step.

[Marco Catoni @CatmaCator]

New fresh work from @Katie_JC in the lab! The supporting manuscript to our @Bioconductor packadge #mobileRNA is available on @biorxivpreprint! This describes an original approach for the analysis of mobile RNA molecules in #plant #grafting!

I was honored to speak at #ICAR2024SanDiego about epiRILs in #arabidopsis and what we can still learn from them about epigenetic regulation and #transposable_elements mobilisation! Thank you Jungnam Cho for arranging such as amazing session!

[Sara Lopez-Gomollon @GomollonSara]

Fantastic first day at @SEBiology conference! And my talk is done! 😁 Thanks @CatmaCator and Robyn for the invitation. Looking firward to the rest of the #genomic and #epigenetics in #plant session tomorrow!

[Radu Zabet @nzradu]

🚨🚨🚨We have a new manuscript on the functional role of gene body methylation. Spoiler alert: we showed that it buffers transcriptional noise by using different epigenetic mutants in plants. Excellent collaboration with @bechtis & @CatmaCator. See a tweetorial from Uli below.

[Sara Lopez-Gomollon @GomollonSara]

@RobynAEmm not only coordinate a session at @SEBiology conference but also presented twice: her postdoc work at @CatmaCator and her #PhD work with @DrTracyLawson and @nzradu at @EssexLifeSci
Paper coming soon! Stay tuned

Well done Katie!

[Katie Jeynes-Cupper @Katie_JC]

Super happy to say that my first ever R package has been successfully accepted to @Bioconductor ! mobileRNA supports mRNAseq/sRNAseq analysis and expression of multiple genomes - great for plant graft or host-pathogen systems.
