See you at the #PAG30 Bayer mixer tonight! Note the location change to Pacific A 🌧️

[Ellie Taagen @etaagen]

@Bayer4Crops Grad Student & Networking Mixer on Saturday 5 - 7 PM @ Martini Lawn (alt location TBA if pouring rain!) https://t.co/d7xMl0YAHY

[Ellie Taagen @etaagen]

Excited to connect at #PAG30 and dash between all the overlapping workshops I added to my calendar 😅 For folks interested in @Bayer4Crops (esp grad students), many Bayer scientists are attending + hosting a mixer Sat night + a puzzle hunt with prizes all week, come talk to us!!

@AdriGonzalo Love to hear it! I was disappointed I missed the webinar, looking forward to tomorrow's 🙂

New paper!! Simulating controlled recombination (freq & dist) and GS wheat breeding program 🧬 TLDR increased recombination shreds the LD and prediction accuracy 🫥 but can still be a valuable tool for discovery and harnessing the power of selection! https://t.co/oq1PwYFmZI

Really exciting opportunity to lay the foundation for harnessing the power of #recombination for plant breeding @Bayer4Crops. Come join a terrific team focused on advancing #genomeediting 🧬 if you are interested reach out and connect! https://t.co/MYv5YfdWtD

Hot off the press is rTASSEL, an R front-end for TASSEL published in the Journal of Open Source Software!

If you’re looking for an easy R package to import & filter genotypes, run GWAS, perform genomic prediction & more - rTASSEL is the package for you. A 🧵 on the key features:

@Ferebee2PhD @USDA_NIFA Congrats Taylor!! 🎉

[Ellie Taagen @etaagen]

Love to see this! 🧬

Really great milestone from my colleagues at ⁦⁦@Bayer4Crops⁩,
Cas12a mediated crossovers in hybrid corn. Designed recombination for precision breeding, what a great time to be doing science in this field! https://t.co/7YCynQfRqu

By mistake I drank decaf coffee *shudder* for over a week - as a 5th year grad student I am disturbed that I did not notice this sooner 😵‍💫
