Happy to share our latest work to define the features that explain splice-site choice in eukaryotes! Here we have empirically quantified splice-site usage across individuals in Arabidopsis, Drosophila and Humans and attempted to infer patterns (1/10)

Russell Woodford and co-authors find an essential role of PGR5 in enabling efficient C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light by regulating photosynthetic control and energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching. https://t.co/eUDru5hNjH
Congrats Russell and thanks @AustPlantPhenom! This award will help us uncover novel genetic targets for improving productivity and resilience of crops operating C4 photosynthesis in realistic environments with fluctuating light @MonashBiol
Congrats to A/Prof @JeremyJBarr@MonashBiol on being awarded $500,000 USD from the @gatesfoundation to support ground-breaking research discovering how bacteriophages could prime human immunity and impact health. Read more 👇

New paper! Circadian clocks in the field. Wonderful collaboration with Hiroshi Kudoh at Kyoto University, studying #circadian signalling in a natural plant population. Congrats to first authors Haruki Nishio and @Dodka_ 1/2 @JohnInnesCentre#chronobiology https://t.co/QunBYdkQqU
🚨An exciting update re. Plant Chronobiology 2025:
Announcing our Keynote Speakers! We are looking forward to Keynotes by Rob McClung (@dartmouth) and Paloma Mas (@cragenomica), chaired by @DrSteveKay!

Our quantitative analysis of electron transport in C4 bundle sheath cells is finally out in @NewPhyt! We show that the CEF/LEF ratio in bundle sheath cells is >5 and half of electrons reducing PSI are coming from NDH complex. https://t.co/heVeipZxjc
Great to see the work of @Lee_B_Miles published https://t.co/E1ucg6bUct with contributions from every member of the team - thanks everyone
Looking forward to applying this an making many more disease models and make drug screening easier. #zebrafish
We tried CUT&Tag with very little amount of Arabidopsis material (less than 0.01gr!) to map different histone modifications and it works so well! Here you can our find the method

We already know DNA->mRNA->protein.😴
We also know RNA->DNA->mRNA->protein.😒
But DNA->ncRNA->DNA->mRNA->protein is something new!🤯

Exciting findings from our lab's latest paper in @NaturePlants The research sheds light on the molecular mechanisms underlying epigenetic gene silencing induced by expanded repeats, revealing novel components involved.

Here we quantified the usage of individual splice-sites and uncovered extensive variation between individuals (genotypes) in Arabidopsis, Drosophila, and Humans. Kudos to @ciden13@JordynCoutts and other authors. Well done 🌱🦟🧬 #Genetics#Research#Science
Exciting news! 📢 Our lab (@SKBLab and @GATCLab ) just published a groundbreaking paper titled "A basic framework governing splice-site choice in eukaryotes."

Analysis of transcriptomes in multiple species across eukaryotes suggest that hexamer ranks can explain splice site choices across eukaryotes and the correlation of hexamer rankings reflect phylogenies
I am pleased to share our latest work on the genomic determinants of splice-site choice. This has been in works for the past few years and I will provide a glimpse of our journey and key findings (1/8)
