What makes the diploid and haploid cells of some algae so different? Using haplotype-aware analyses, our work with @RedseaPlankton suggests allele-specific methylation contributes to allelic imbalance and diploid-haploid differential gene expression.

@0_minyaaa I observed a similar trend when comparing commercial chemically competent TOP10 with NEB 5-alpha cells for transformation of 6-10 kb plasmids. I believe it is related to the salt concentration in the HiFi assembly master mix.

I’m happy to share that I signed an offer from UMass Dartmouth for a position as an Assistant Professor!
I'm excited and thankful to return to the department where my journey in science started.

The Velle Lab opens in January 2024!

[Ann-Kathrin Rößling @AK_Roessling]

Please check out our new Preprint ☀️ there are some new insights into RALF, pectin and FERONIA.
Looking forward to where this is going! And a huge thanks to @KleineVehnLab and our collaborators 🤩

[Jason Stajich @hyphaltip]

We found a DNA CRESS virus in #Batrachochytrium - work from @KidTrid Rebecca Clemons, Tim James, @tsjenkinson @FritzLaylin @stajichlab and others.

A global record of “ghost” nannofossils demonstrates that nannoplankton were more resilient to past warming events than traditional fossil evidence suggests.

Read that research and more this week in Science. ➡ https://t.co/hofTxaypGP
