#conifer #genomics

Copy number variations (CNV) occur more often than SNPs. In plants, we have seen ~200 copies of RLG1a in monkey flower and EPSPS in carelessweed.

Our study found up to 381 copies of Bglu-1 in a white spruce tree!

NEW PREPRINT: "Conifers concentrate large numbers of NLR immune receptor genes on one chromosome". https://t.co/R4sVXI9vtl Comparative genomics work I did while @OxfordBiology @MacKay_Lab, as part of the #sitkaspruced project.

The pay is minimum of £15.24 per hour, according to experience.

We are recruiting! Join our lab at @OxfordBiology during the summer, loads of DNA to isolate from conifers and broadleaves 🌳🌲. Ask current members if you have any questions: @SkyAndEternity, @BarleyRose_, @LiamHMorton, @LGuillardin. Please, retweet!

Scotland really provided all the weather in the last two days. So thankful to @LGuillardin and @JohnMacKayOxfd who planted 870 Sitka spruce seedlings with me🌲. My muscles hurt but my heart is happy ❤️

@ForestryComm @ForestryEngland @Forest_Research @PeoplesPicture @BarleyRose_ @LGuillardin @HayleyTumas you must have some good ones?

[Barley Rose @BarleyRose_]

Excited to be starting my 3-month internship at @Forest_Research running a #Sitka field trial in Galloway.

I had a great time with these amazing students @OxfordBiology and couldn’t help but wonder what they would learn and achieve in their years @magdalenoxford!

[Laura Guillardín, PhD @LGuillardin]

Apparently I passed the confirmation of PhD student status without reservations. The next milestone is the thesis submission... Busy year ahead, planned to finish all the experiments this term, wish me luck lol 🧬🌲#phdvoice

[ForesTree Biology Group @MacKay_Lab]

New paper out! 🚨 @JohnMacKayOxfd @SkyAndEternity
We compared the transcriptomes of European and Japanese larches to infection by Phytophthora ramorum and found differences related to jasmonate signalling and resistance genes. 🌲https://t.co/Df1l1EiNJm

This is the first Climate Change Genomics workshop and we have an exciting programme not to miss! #ClimGen22

[Barley Rose @BarleyRose_]

Loved the session on gender issues on forest entomology and pathology. 3 Great talks I wish there had been more time for discussion #ForestHealth2022 #WomenInSTEM

[Laura Guillardín, PhD @LGuillardin]

Getting ready for the @B4EST_EU conference! today I showed @MacKay_Lab what I'll present, can't wait to get to Lisbon :)

[Tin Hang (Henry) Hung 洪天恒 @tinhanghung]

Proud to announce one of the milestone papers on #rosewood #conservation out @ELSenviron #BiologicalConservation by @APFORGEN @OxfordBiology @BiovIntCIAT_eng 🌳🌏

[Barley Rose @BarleyRose_]

Labs that pot together will publish together, right? Thanks to everyone in the @MacKay_Lab who helped me put up my clonal cuttings yesterday 1200L of compost put to good use! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

[Tin Hang (Henry) Hung 洪天恒 @tinhanghung]

I'm coming to #EAB2021! A big shoutout to the amazing staff @BritishEcolSoc @sfecologie making this possible in such challenging times. If you're interested in ecological #genomics and #conservation, please come to my talk. I can't wait to meet and chat with you all! 😊

[ForesTree Biology Group @MacKay_Lab]

@JohnMacKayOxfd @SkyAndEternity will share how their genomic research @OxfordPlants @OxfordBiology inform conservation of endangered #rosewood, the world’s most trafficked wild product. 🌳🪵 We will also learn about the on-ground works by our regional partners in #SEAsia. 🌏

[APFORGEN @APFORGEN]

On Dec 6 (3PM GMT+7), join us in a conversation on conservation and restoration of Asian #Rosewood! We will be sharing results of research across the Greater Mekong Region. Check out the program and register now at: https://t.co/3kKDNzzDvH #CITESspecies #FLR

@OxfordPlants @MacKay_Lab in action @BlenheimPalace as part of the Oxford-Blenheim Partnership! Who doesn’t love some oak trees in a UNESCO World Heritage Site? A big thanks to @LGuillardin @BarleyRose_ and foresters from Blenheim for today’s fieldwork! 🌳 #forestscience

[ForesTree Biology Group @MacKay_Lab]

We’re recruiting a PhD student to work on ecological genetics of CNV in spruce trees 🌲 @OxfordPlants @OxfordBiology! Project starts either in Oct or next Jan. The student will learn many lab and bioinformatics skills. Pls RT! https://t.co/bY86aipJfW #PhDposition #forestscience
