@leandroquadrana @NaturePlants It Is a great story, congrats!

Very excited to see our paper finally out @NaturePlants ! The manuscript is fully accessible from here: rdcu.be/dVjxX nature.com/articles/s4147…

1/ 🧬 "Can "jumping genes" create novelty? Sure. But how much of this novelty actually serves a purpose? Excited to share our latest preprint, where we report on an adaptive retrotransposon insertion driving rapid responses to herbicides biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵

New pre-print alert! 📢 A comprehensive study on chemical-induced priming in oak seedlings. Led by @RosaSanchezLuc1 & Jack Bosanquet and the collaboration of @CatmaCator and @vpastorfuentes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @BIFoRUoB

For who want to try it, #mobileRNA is a freely available and easy to use R tool available on @Bioconductor: doi.org/doi:10.18129/B…

and a much more reliable estimation of transcript accumulation:

In several simulated examples, both intra and extra-species combinations, we found that this approach results in a dramatic reduction of the noise and virtually not false positives.

In the analysis of graft-mobile RNA molecules (small RNA and transcripts) in #heterografting conditions involving two #genotypes, we merge the two genomes involved into a single reference before the alignment step.

New fresh work from @Katie_JC in the lab! The supporting manuscript to our @Bioconductor packadge #mobileRNA is available on @biorxivpreprint! This describes an original approach for the analysis of mobile RNA molecules in #plant #grafting! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I was honored to speak at #ICAR2024SanDiego about epiRILs in #arabidopsis and what we can still learn from them about epigenetic regulation and #transposable_elements mobilisation! Thank you Jungnam Cho for arranging such as amazing session!

Fantastic first day at @SEBiology conference! And my talk is done! 😁 Thanks @CatmaCator and Robyn for the invitation. Looking firward to the rest of the #genomic and #epigenetics in #plant session tomorrow!

🚨🚨🚨We have a new manuscript on the functional role of gene body methylation. Spoiler alert: we showed that it buffers transcriptional noise by using different epigenetic mutants in plants. Excellent collaboration with @bechtis & @CatmaCator. See a tweetorial from Uli below.

@RobynAEmm not only coordinate a session at @SEBiology conference but also presented twice: her postdoc work at @CatmaCator and her #PhD work with @DrTracyLawson and @nzradu at @EssexLifeSci Paper coming soon! Stay tuned #ECR

**SPECIAL ISSUE NOW OPEN** 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 Guest edited by @CatmaCator, Tamara Lechon Gomez & @avprobst Deadline for submissions: 31st August 2024 Send us an email (j.exp.bot@lancaster.ac.uk) if you'd like to submit a paper. All manuscript types considered.

I am glad of being invited to @HZAU_China this autumn for the next #Horticulture_Advances Editorial Board Meeting. Horticulture Advances is a brand-new #journal lauched by Huazhong Agricultural University, edited by @SpringerNature. ⬇️For submission ⬇️ link.springer.com/journal/44281

Amazing post written from @Katie_JC about her PhD work and the amazing interaction we had with BlueBEAR High-Performance Computing @uob_bear at @unibirmingham blog.bham.ac.uk/bear/2024/05/2…

With Marcella with her poster at our first #monogram conference!! Our first steps into #wheat #epigenetics

Amazing post produced by Tanshpreet about her intership project on #wheat #epigenetics in our lab! Thank you Tanshpreet! Blog: My experience with the Sustainability Summer internship intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/news/p… via @unibirmingham

Well done Katie!
