Proud to contribute to this study, which substantially improves the faba bean genome assembly and sheds light on the genetic basis of cold tolerance in this crop. https://t.co/K0MJy6CBwA

Kinetochore mutations and histone phosphorylation pattern changes accompany holo- and macro-monocentromere evolution. https://t.co/Sa8rnzu4zK

Targeting conserved regions of #kinetochore proteins KNL1 and NDC80 provides antibodies for labeling #centromeres across a spectrum of seed plants ! Great work by @LudCris & @PavelNeumann7 in collaboration with @YiTzuKuo, @YMata_Sucre and @marques_et_al. https://t.co/sL5ANqx3wb

🚨BREAKING: Over 1,000 scientists in 14 countries hold historic demonstrations in support of gene editing.

The scientists are urging MEPs to back New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) ahead of a crunch vote in the EU parliament tomorrow.

Please like and share if you believe in science!

📢 Hey REPET users ! A new version of the Docker #REPET image is available! https://t.co/SYsa1vRx0n It includes the REXdb (@MacasLab) and Dfam (@isbsci) databases formatted for REPET use to improve the classification of your #Transposons reference library.

[Macas lab @MacasLab]

@hendersi Great idea !

[André Marques @marques_et_al]

Great collaboration with Andreas Houben @YiTzuKuo and @MacasLab now published online in @NatureComms. Here we show that holocentromeres can also consist of only a few centromeric units with megabase-sized repeat arrays in similar ranges as in monocentromeres! Crazy!

[Macas lab @MacasLab]

A new type of plant holocentromere ! Excited to be part of a great team led by Houben lab at @LeibnizIPK, including @YiTzuKuo, @marques_et_al and many others. Supported by #GACR, @BiologyCentre and @ELIXIRCZ. https://t.co/J2GH8ZenBk
