@ravi_mural @szintri @SchnableLab Big congrats!

[James Schnable @szintri]

One of the largest scale maize genotyping projects ever attempted in the public sector: 46 million SNPs and InDels scored across more than 1,500 maize inbreds, traditional varieties, and wild relatives from six continents. Out now in The Plant Journal. https://t.co/aYs5EjjiPF

Our preprint describing a new model for the origin of #corn just dropped today.

Preprint is here: https://t.co/qIJrMl9Yvv

And a (sort of) brief thread can be found here: https://t.co/IX6RHMhvxr

@shanwai1234 Zhikai, congrats!👍

[Jinliang Yang @JinliangYang]

We would have accomplished nothing without our talented @unlagrohort students. n=2,000 plots manually harvested in two days! Great teamwork @MusaUlutas10 @AgronomistYd @GenXu1 @zhikai16 Kahheetah! And Eric and Jenifer (not in the photo)!

@MeixiaZhao @JinliangYang Congrats Meixia！👍

[Jinliang Yang @JinliangYang]

Hope this @ENERGY project will enable us to understand the N responsive genes one step closer. Lucky that I have a strong team to work with ---@TEClemente1, @szintri, Yufeng, @liu3zhen, and colleagues @hudsonalpha.

Our latest study led by @unlagrohort grad student Semra @spalalidelen and our super postdoc @GenXu1 estimated the genetic parameters for nitrogen-related traits. And found that N-response to yield is highly polygenetic and likely under selection. @NE_CRRI

Years of root digging finally pays off! Congratulations to the incredible and hardworking colleagues who co-authored or on the acknowledgment of this newly accepted paper (https://t.co/AcGnINLIUG) by @eLife. @NE_CRRI @UNL_PSI @unlagrohort @NebraskaEPSCoR

[Jinliang Yang @JinliangYang]

Our mediation analysis paper led by talented student @zhikai16 is out! Mediation analysis is complementary to #GWAS, #TWAS, and #eQTL. It assumes a causal chain: SNP -> intermediate phenotype -> phenotype.

Part of the J. Yang Lab at the #MGM2022. Always an enjoyable experience spending days with enthusiastic maize geneticists. See you next year at St. Louis Union Station.

.@szintri, @JinliangYang and Holding lab contingent at the 64th Annual Maize Genetics Meeting. Well represented in St. Louis for the first in-person Maize Meeting since 2019! @SchnableLab #UNL #UNLAgroHort #MGM2022

[Dave Jackson @MaizeMeristem]

Very happy to share a wonderful collaboration with colleagues in Beijing, Wuhan and Germany on identification of a previously undescribed WD40 gene as a QTL for grain number and yield in maize. The same gene was also selected in rice https://t.co/l986HKdILM.

@paulpuneet @bylvjing Thanks, Puneet!

[Jinliang Yang @JinliangYang]

Thrilled to share our recent work posted on bioRxiv (https://t.co/Jz5FfaTFIX) that @GenXu1 and collaborators have been working on for years. Thanks @UNL_PSI @NE_CRRI @NebraskaEPSCoR
Briefly, we found an nitrogen-associated locus under balancing selection. 1/2

@paulpuneet @Bayer4Crops @Bayer4Crops_IN Congrats Puneet! 👍👍👍

[Jinliang Yang @JinliangYang]

1/2) New preprint from the lab (https://t.co/i3wnvxqBlZ). A talented Ph.D. student, Zhikai, used the genome-wide mediation analysis to identify hundreds of mediating genes to connect genotype to phenotype.

[Guangchao Sun @xiaoguanghuan]

Congratulations! Really nice and exciting work done by @xiaoxi_meng @shanwai1234 @SchnableLab @Rebecca_Roston ! @PNASNews https://t.co/rQUD43YJ44

Finally, our methylome paper comes out! Big thanks to my advisor @JinliangYang and our great collaborators!

[Jinliang Yang @JinliangYang]

Our recent study, led by our @unlagrohort PostDoc Gen Xu (@GenXu1), has finally come out online. Thanks for the incredible efforts of our coauthors! In this study, we investigated the maize epigenetic patterns (1/2) ...
