Our first inking that something might be amiss with the accepted story of maize origins occurred 13 years ago. Thanks to the efforts of @NingYang9 those hints from long ago are now a new model of maize origins, out today: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This looks so useful, I'll definitely be playing around with it soon!

It is my great pleasure to announce ggPlantmap (github.com/leonardojo/ggP…), an open-source R package to create ggplot maps from plant images. Now, you can create beautiful plant heatmaps to be visualized and modified in a R coding environment.

@ColleenDrapek @xanderjones82 @gilesedoldroyd @slcuplants Congrats! Beautiful microscopy, can't wait to read!

Proud to share this story from @xanderjones82 and @gilesedoldroyd teams at @slcuplants looking at where, when and how plant hormone Gibberellin (GA) acts in nitrogen-fixing nodule development using a next-generation GA sensor biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out my first review! The diversity of peptide hormone systems in plants is truly amazing. I learned so much in the writing process. Thanks so much to @Dsjones552 for writing this with me and helping me through the whole process. Stay tuned for future @thecapitulab pubs
Daniel Jones@Dsjones552
Very excited to share @thecapitulab‘s first paper! @reid_selby and I wrote a COPB review about peptide hormone signaling in plant meristems and just how complex these pathways are (especially in flowering plants)! authors.elsevier.com/a/1hiJm4tPF3tz…

Our pre-print “Spatial Co-transcriptomics Reveals Discrete Stages of the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis” is now available online. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… Check it out to learn how single-nuclei and spatial RNA-seq were combined to tackle complexities of the AM symbiosis! 🌱🍄

@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 annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

After many years of hard work, I am super excited to share this manuscript on the importance of intentionally addressing equity in the classroom! (1/5) nsta.org/journal-colleg…

The definition of bittersweet - so incredibly excited to see what @SpringerNathan gets into next at @Bayer4Crops, but he will be sorely missed at UMN. Nathan helped me navigate a transition into monocot genomics, and I've learned so much from his outlook on science and research.

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

Amazing opportunity here - definitely consider applying! Great science, wonderful mentorship, AND you'll be surrounded with beautiful flowers while you work!

@thecapitulab is hiring! Looking for a Postdoc to work on this @NSF funded project studying capitulum development @AuburnU. The work involves really cool developmental transcriptomics of diverse species while diving deeper with functional genetics. Reach out with questions! 🌻

🌻Ever wonder how the capitulum evolved? Excited to announce our NSF PGRP award to ask that question! Work will generate new genomic resources across Asterales, Dipsacales and Apiales to address broad questions related to capitulum development and evolution @Dsjones552 @jmbrkphd

@thecapitulab is ready for an awesome #Botany2022 meeting! Be sure to check out @BrannanRose1 (PCB004) and @reid_selby (PDS010) posters this evening if you’re at the meeting to hear about their amazing conservation genomics and flower development work!

New promoter tracks with 2 types of glyphs: a color-coded box showing the 1kb promoter region just 5' of each transcript and predicted core promoter elements (CPE) based on JASPAR profiles. The tracks help provide context for other data with the TSS. On the v5 and NAM browsers.

Our new preprint is up 🎉 -biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We found an odd result while modeling the evolution of TE copy # using sims in SLiM - when we allowed TEs to transpose freely, TE fams that preferentially resulted in neutral insertions more often drove host pops extinct - 1/11

@ph_doofus @fe_emiliani I've had a lot of success with the approaches already described, but have also used NEB's NEBuilder framework for construct and primer design - worth checking out if you're running into issues! nebuilder.neb.com

@fe_emiliani Is there a good software to design primers? I tried Snapgene but it doesn’t seem to work for me…

In an attempt to pay-forward all the cloning advice I’ve been given here’s the start of #CloningForAll. Today we start with the biggest bang for your buck. Gibson Assembly (GA). Along the way tips and tricks. 1/n

We are super excited to welcome The CapituLab's first graduate student Brannan Cliver this week! @BrannanRose1 will be studying Alabama endemic Asters, building new genomes and working toward understanding their development. So happy to have her on board!
