So happy to share that our paper is out in @Nature!
We used 4D long-term imaging to test the GRN dynamics controlling asymmetric division.

🌱 Thrilled to see our latest collaborative work with @jennyrussinova@NemanjaVukas@CheweiHsu16 in @CellCellPress! By combining single-cell RNA-seq and live imaging, we uncovered previously hidden brassinosteroid signaling states. https://t.co/hIkrzPcmEk
@jbrn252@AndrewChignell@NIH Basic research into how life and the universe works often does not have an immediate application. It may take decades for fundamental discoveries to become useful technology. The internet, MRI, and CRISPR are all good examples. Private investors seek returns within a few years.
@jbrn252@AndrewChignell@NIH No. Research with the greatest potential to solve humanity’s problems is often very far from producing a product. Investors don’t fund this kind of research. Governments do.
Obituary: Philip Benfey (1953–2023).
An archetype of collaboration, community development and vision, who made fundamental contributions to biology through his studies on the often-unseen part of the plant, the root.

Shuyao Kong @sykong15 and Mingyuan Zhu @Mingyuan2328 are on a roll! Here is the next installment in our DRMY1 and robustness story. DRMY1 maintains translation and TOR signaling to maintain robustness in the initiation of sepal primordia. Thread 1/5 https://t.co/sSNJflDHuq
(1/x) We are excited to introduce VIPS (Volumetric Imaging of biological specimens via Photochemical Sectioning) in our preprint! VIPS uses a light-based process called “photochemical sectioning” to achieve petabyte-scale high/super-resolution imaging: https://t.co/Ubn7o4ocsa
🚀Exciting news! I'm thrilled to share my first preprint as a post-doc at @slcuplants. We used snRNA-seq to capture, for the first time, the transcriptome of dissected wild-type shoot apical meristems (SAM) in Arabidopsis thaliana at the single-cell level.

How do TFs recruit the transcriptional machinery? This critical cellular function is incompletely understood. Led by postdoc Nick Morffy, we experimentally identify Arabidopsis ADs at scale and use this immense dataset to create an AD predictor, TADA.
