🚨 EffectorGeneP is finally here! Stop missing small, single-exon or orphan genes from your favourite pathogen genome. Current tools only annotate 15%-78% of effector genes, EffectorGeneP finds 95% - including the large AvrSr26 family in stem rust. https://t.co/Pn2cJIxlBd
Protein structure prediction changed biology. Protein assembly discovery is next.
We present SNI (Structural Novelty Index), a scalable framework for finding new protein complexes.
We used it to uncover an unexpected resistosome assembly: 11-mer. 🧵👇🏻

Research Associate/Research Fellow on the discovery of resistance genes with effectoromics, with a focus on pathogen genome analysis, functional screens in plants and identification of genes that lead to resistant plants for indoor farming systems for Brassica. #scijobs@VivianneTwit https://t.co/8xHylyceHY
Register for the upcoming APS Research Forum focusing on Tropical Plant Health (23 April 2026, 1pm CT / 2pm EST). Great opportunity to learn about ongoing research on tropical crops, and meet new scientists in the field. https://t.co/7oWnb1iECQ
New preprint out! 🚀

K. Avila et al. found that fly density does not limit #Ceratocystis fimbriata transmission to sweetpotato by #Drosophila hydei: https://t.co/A2DQpaAyx0 🍠
1/ Your bedtools intersect returned zero results. You stared at the screen for 20 minutes.
The BED file looked fine. The command was correct. Everything should have worked.
I've debugged this exact problem hundreds of times. It's almost always one of these 4 traps:

Big news! I’m the new Executive Director of the @IR4_Project
Proud to help lead this national effort serving specialty crop growers across the U.S.
Pathogens, insects, and weeds better watch out! I’m coming for them all 😁
