Very excited to share our new preprint on DGR-1: a nematode master regulator controlling the switch from destructive to biotrophic effectors. We show that nematodes hijack the natural compartmentalisation of plant signals to fine-tune DGR-1 expression. https://t.co/W009FhoEY0
Learn about the inner workings of developmentally dynamic worm-specific argonautes, their control of #Celegans regulatory networks, and the challenges associated with using simple loss-of-function studies to assess their function. 🪱

New preprint out 🌱
We present a new T-DNA vector system for Arabidopsis that supports clean, genomically mapped, single-copy T-DNA insertion with predictable cell-type/conditional gene expression.

New paper! How do RNAs "know" where to go inside a cell? We dug into the sequence elements that route RNAs to the right place. It turns out that, in mammals, they're surprisingly massive (>200 nt), multipartite, and wonderfully complicated. 🧵
Our latest: alternative splicing that changes the translational reading frame! Not only can it cause RNA decay, it can also generate alternatively-coded proteins or alternative protein lengths. Tons of it in 🪱 and 🧍♀️

Excited to see our review online in @CurrentBiology, led by our amazing leader @Luke_Nikolov, as part of the @CellAtlas Comparative Biology and Evolution Committee to help envision the future of evolutionary and comparative single-cell omics in plants

CIBER science published in Nature led by former postdocs Yu Fang and Yahya Al Naggar, we show that bees don’t just feed future queens—they engineer them.

1/9 Interesting new paper by Kasalo, Domazet-Lošo et al. on amino acid biosynthesis & animal origins.
Some of the most energetically expensive amino acids became "outsourced" during early animal evolution rather than synthesized internally.

Multiple losses of ecdysone receptor genes in nematodes: an alternative evolutionary scenario of molting regulation https://t.co/fmhcjD7zaZ @MolBioEvol
Single somatic plant cells have the remarkable potential to dedifferentiate and regenerate entirely new plants. However, the cell states and regulatory dynamics enabling dedifferentiation competence had not been fully explored... dun dun dun ⬇️ (1/12)
