Visit our genomic pumpkin patch! Available now are chrom-length upgrades for cultivated pumpkins Cucurbita pepo, C. moschata and C. maxima, original drafts from (Sun et al. 2017) in Mol. Plant @CellPressNews and (Montero-Pau et al. 2018) @PlantBiotechJ dnazoo.org/post/pumpkin-p…

@BenMansfeld I see. You’ll find circadian genes if comparing between time points. Good that you have controls in your new samples. :)

@SWu727 In the analysis I presented, I compared the time points. The samples you helped me with have ctrls for each time point too

@BenMansfeld Great talk! Maybe I missed it. Did you have mock for each time point, or you compared between time points?

Enjoyed very much on this collaborative project. Thank all for your contributions and congrats! ⁦@TeamGT4SP⁩ ⁦@gatesfoundation⁩ ⁦@Cipotato⁩ @TheBuellLab⁩ @SWu727 ⁦@CraigYencho⁩ ⁦@lachlancoin⁩ ⁦@jleebensmack⁩...... nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great collaboration with @fei_lab and @TeamGT4SP showing amongst many other things extensive recombination in hexaploid sweetpotato between chromosomes from two wild progenitors using #linkedreads nature.com/articles/s4146…

You may have seen this story about the @CurrentBiology paper arguing that the sweet potato dispersed to Polynesia. The methods are flawed, the conclusions are wrong. Here's my reanalysis: github.com/mmatschiner/ku… Please RT to help undo misinformation. twitter.com/carlzimmer/sta…

So it turns out that we have to continue worrying about about the dissemination of sweetpotato to Oceania and elsewhere. At the meeting of the Genomic Tools for Sweetpotato Improvement project this was a hot topic. @SWu727 @fei_lab @Cipotato
