@10secrule PacBio + Omni-C sequencing, contig assembly with hifiasm, scaffolding with YaHS. Having Omni-C/Hi-C data really helps hifiasm with phasing and then the contact maps make scaffolding much easier
Hot off the press! We assembled 7 new diploid phased hemp genomes and compared them to 200+ other assemblies. We also looked at the recombination landscape across the genome and re-mapped the location of the Early1 flowering time locus. Check it out here: https://t.co/bPWxLdadge
We are looking for graduate students to present their work at the 2024 Cornell Corteva Plant Breeding Symposium "Breeding for novel systems and complex problems" on April 12th, 2024. Come share your work and network!
We are searching for an Asst Prof of Seed Biology and Technology. Apply here before the Jan 2 deadline. Cornell AgriTech is a great place to work in the beautiful Finger Lakes. Opportunities to collaborate on hemp seed biology and coating technologies. https://t.co/vPler941bU
We are still looking to fill slots for PAG Plant Reproductive Genomics session - send me a message or email if interested - reproduction broadly defined!
The fourth (and final🎉) chapter of my dissertation is out in @Hortres! We used a segregating F2 population to investigate the role of cannabinoids in defense against chewing herbivores. Check out the article here: https://t.co/KAnwXEL3As
Battling #hemp’s nemesis: @CornellCALS researchers have discovered a gene in hemp that helps it resist powdery mildew, giving the fledgling hemp industry a new tool to combat the prevalent disease. @CornellPlantSci https://t.co/0P9BGmaNkd
Researchers at @CornellAgriTech@CornellCALS have discovered a gene in hemp for resistance to powdery mildew, which will help breeders develop more resistant hemp cultivars. The result will be better overall crop production and quality. https://t.co/nxWFnPRLMz
Excited that the third chapter of my dissertation was accepted to @MPMIjournal! We identified a new source of powdery mildew resistance in hemp resulting from a MLO susceptibility gene interrupted by a (suspected) transposable element . First look here: https://t.co/Jaoh5yJye1
@ASHS_Hort Hemp came together to develop standards for research and industry data. Here's how we define plant height, flowering time, and crop quality.

Hot off the press!
We partitioned floral biomass by canopy position for 30 cultivars of high-CBD hemp and found significant correlations among morphological and biochemical traits.
