@DamonLisch Just think of all the cool genetics this cart will shuttle around campus

@DamonLisch I know what you suspect in this alfalfa plant I plucked while walking today

Cool opportunity to work on developing applications of single-cell technologies for crop improvement on a fantastic team led by @rebeccalowdon https://t.co/YmdF1SRooR

@crop_animal Wait - there are rules? This is the first I am hearing about it.

@alex_marand Did a wonderful job of pulling this together with co-authors. I definitely learned way more than I contributed here. Great job Alex, Kerstin and Andrea https://t.co/BtEwEtQa7N

🚨 We've got a new preprint out 🚨 - We developed a series of logical frameworks for analyzing how transposable element content contributes to structural variation (SV) within maize 🌽🧬🌽. How'd we do this + what did we find?? - 1/11

After ~20 years at the UMN today was my last day . I have been so lucky to work with wonderful people in my group and to have a fantastic set of collaborators. A huge thank you to all of my colleagues, collaborators and friends. Excited for a new journey @Bayer4Crops

@jrossibarra @DavidBLowry The only real news here is that somehow Jeff thinks some maize is unimportant. Hmmm

Why do the same gene in different varieties respond differentially under the environmental stimuli? We seek to answer the question using both population transcriptomics and chromatin signatures.

@SpicyBotrytis yup

@addie_maize @szintri Not sure this is entirely accurate. Plenty of my flannel has holes.

@flagelbagel You didn't grab the Miracle Whip that was also offered for free? Quite the meal options with the two...

@jrossibarra @Hashtag_Read @kseniakrasileva Yeah but isn't that the stuff we love? We were thinking about this as a way to sequence from a gene to a distal regulator but if we kick out reads due to a TE in the middle it might defeat the purpose

@scott_stelpflug Hey - don't knock Stanton. It is a thriving metropolis with it's own airport....

Excited to share @noshjac's last thesis chapter research. Monitoring accessible chromatin and DNA methylation in four maize genomes. Reveals that a large amount of variable methylation is due to shifting boundaries at the edge of methylated domains
