🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨

We used single-cell RNA-seq + GRN analysis to uncover novel morphogenic genes that boost #maize transformation frequency 🌽

Check out our new preprint! We examined sources of variability of transgene expression in N. benthamiana agroinfiltration and ways to minimize it. Graduate student Sophia Tang observed FP expression in >1,800 plants over the course of nearly 3 years! https://t.co/dAYyhwrqRD

We're excited to share another work from our lab this week. We present ENTRAP-seq, the first massively parallel reporter assay to characterize protein-coding libraries in plants. Congrats to Simon, Lucas, and all other co-authors.

Happy to share our new publication out today in @NaturePlants where we quantitatively dissect synergy and antagonism that occurs during Nicotiana benthamiana transient agroinfiltration. Congrats to Simon, Matthew, Mitch and all other co-authors!

Congratulations to Dave Savage – our co-founder and scientific advisor, the head of @SavageCatsOnly Lab, and now @UCBerkeley Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology!

[Vayu Hill-Maini @NOFOKitchen]

Excited to share I will be joining @Stanford @bioe_stanford this fall as an asst. prof! My group will harness fungi for food and sustainability applications. We’ll soon be recruiting on all fronts - stay tuned !! Grateful to @BalskusLab @Keasling_Lab @UCB_MillerInst for support!

Galls: beautiful little insect-houses that plants make on-demand when an insect asks very nicely.

Our paper analyzing their structure and chemistry is out in Plant Physiology:

First preprint from the lab! We have a new tool that automates the annotation of many kinds of bacterial genome and MGE features. It also includes gene databases for plant-associated microbes and an optional Agrobacterium-specific pipeline. Try it out!

[Karen Serrano @karen_serrano9]

Excited to be in sunny San Diego for PAG 31! I’ll be giving a talk at tomorrow’s workshop “Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics in Plant and Animal Species” at 1:30pm. Hope to see some familiar faces there!

[Cat Adams, PhD @ScienceIsMetal]

For #MushroomMonday I'm thrilled to announce work I contributed to is published now in New Phytologist!

It's all about life history strategies of the coolest mushroom, the death cap mushroom! Check it out here:

Excited to share our first paper from the lab!

"Lanthanide Cathodophores for Multicolor Electron Microscopy"
https://t.co/jap7uJL5aX

To combine super-res fluorescence imaging and electron microscopy, why not use an electron beam to make lanthanide nanoprobes glow?!
