“we sequenced the vegetative transcriptomes of 1,124 species that span the diversity of #plants […] we find that large expansions of gene families preceded the origins of green plants, land plants and vascular plants...” #genomics https://t.co/HWlGjOUb9n
John Tyson and team have been honing extraction and preparation methods to maximise production of ultra-long reads. Find out more in this webinar: https://t.co/mudo6nJA57 *Community or guest login required
The #genome of wild teosinte—the evolutionary ancestor of modern #maize—has revealed a rare #allele lost to domestication that could be used to increase the crop yields of today’s densely planted maize by altering the angle of the plants leaves. ($) https://t.co/cJa9J5A2Ui
Super excited to share our new manuscript on the 'Origin and evolution of the octoploid strawberry genome'!! -> https://t.co/kONneEqgD4 Thank you fantastic collaborators including @knapp1955@bob_vanburen@mrmckain@AndrewDLNelson@SigmaFacto @Childs_Lab @Genome_Guy @josh_puzey
"Corn stalks emit certain organic compounds when they are broken or damaged... The team [from Utah and UNL] will develop low-power sensors that detect when these chemicals are present. They could operate in a cornfield for an entire season without having to change batteries."
Analyzed 260 traits together to find the genes that control phenomic variation in maize. On molecular, popgen, and evolutionary levels these genes are outliers. They look like classical mutants.
