Online now by Simone Castellana, @MatteoDellAcqu1, @triozzipaolo, @CnrElena, @ThePlantLab @SantAnnaPisa : using eGWAS on 934 non-redundant georeferenced Arabidopsis ecotypes, we have identified functional variants for the gene MBR1 affecting adaptation to rainy environments

[Kromdijk Lab @PlantPhys_Cam]

📚TWO FULLY FUNDED PHDs with us + @jmhibber!

FOCUS: the untapped potential of C4 orphan crop G. gynandra - use genetic and molecular tools to identify avenues for improving it, or for engineering of C4 photosynthesis!

For UK nationals & Jan ‘25 start, apply before 15 July.

It's a pity that All of Us used UMAP to visualize ancestry variation in their new marker paper, out today in Nature.
The UMAP algorithm, by design, exaggerates the distinctiveness of the most frequent ancestries, a message that can be misinterpreted by the public.
