Thrilled to announce my successful thesis defense and graduation after 6 amazing years in Fungal Evolutionary Genetics Lab! Huge thanks to everyone who supported me along the way. Looking forward to pursuing a PhD. #ScienceTwitter

@efe_bozaslan Thanks a lot! 🙏

New paper alert 🚨
First evidence for mitochondria-encoded lncRNAs in fungi! We uncovered a hidden non-coding transcriptome in M. laxa mitogenomes via PacBio long-read RNA-seq 🧬
Give it a read!

@whirgone Thanks, really appreciate it!

[Baran Taylan Fidanoğlu @Taylan_evo]

@OencelSibel Thank you so much!

[Baran Taylan Fidanoğlu @Taylan_evo]

@iremecekadioglu Thanks a lot! Stay tuned,that's exactly where we're heading next 👀🧬

Up to 15 putative lncRNAs per isolate, NATs overlapping core respiratory genes + first freestanding HEG-derived transcripts in fungi 👀
Fungal mitogenomes are way more than just protein-coding genes.

Exciting news! Our study is out today in @MobDNAjournal, showcasing a successful experimental evolution application, TE-driven genomic changes, and their role in fungicide resistance, and many other exciting insights! https://t.co/i8kCNbD14I

10th Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Symposium Turkey has just started! #EEBST2024

[Baran Taylan Fidanoğlu @Taylan_evo]

10th Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Symposium is finally here! It all started with a great talk from @OencelSibel regarding to biodiversity on Prunus persica!

[EkoEvo @ekoevoder]

We start #EEBST2024 with Sibel Öncel’s talk on mycobiome diversity!!

[EkoEvo @ekoevoder]

#EEBST24 için Çanakkale’de buluşmamıza çok az kaldı! Gelmeden önce programımıza göz atmayı unutmayın 🧬🌍🌲🧫🔬

We successfully used transcriptomics and network analyses to identify regulators of early defence mechanisms of tomato against Alternaria alternata!

[Yiliang Ding @YiliangDing]

Excited to share our latest preprint: PlantRNA-FM, the first interpretable RNA AI foundation model for exploring functional RNA motifs in plants🌱🧬 A great collaboration with Ke Li's group @UniofExeter @HaopengYu @JohnInnesCentre

While everyone else has begun their summer vacation, I have three separate articles to write, two articles to revise, three project reports to complete, and my thesis defense to attend in approximately one month Not to mention, looking for a PhD, what a summer it's going to be🤓

@ATinyGreenCell I think Richard Charles Lewontin inspired me on philosophy of biology. I also had chance to listen the researches of Douglas Joel Futuyma and Hanna Kokko, their research inspired me as a young researcher.
