You told us connection matters, and at #Dros27, great conversations are just steps away (10 minutes max from the venue). Grab a meal at @RdgTerminalMkt, stroll to Philadelphia City Hall, or connect over coffee at local favorites.

Philly locals—where should attendees go next?

@MLstiburek 🪱 Identifying connections between genetic and phenotypic variation is important to studying host-parasite interactions. A #transcriptome analysis shows how host plant genes respond differently based on the genetic background of an infecting #nematode.

@MLstiburek ☕️ The fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix causes Coffee leaf rust that has affected Arabica coffee production for centuries. A new genome of H. vastatrix identifies a haploid trisomy that may be responsible for the pathogen's changed virulence profile.

New in #G3journal: A mutant analysis in #Ecoli reveals that helicase function during severe transcription-replication conflicts is not intrinsically protective or deleterious but is contingent upon the recombination landscape shaped by SOS induction.
