1/ 🚨 My first PhD preprint is out on bioRxiv! We show how tiny mutations—point mutations and kb-level indels—can shape the massive structure of Arabidopsis centromeres. 📄 Read it here: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… 🧵 A short thread 👇

Super interesting stuff! A very comprehensive study on the make-up of repeats in centimetres! Excellent work by @justdx0713 et al 👏

📢 Excited to share our work out now in @Nature! 📢 We present the phased pan-genome of the European tetraploid potato, based on 10 historical cultivars representing 85% of European potato diversity. Learn more below! 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/7

@RSocPublishing Super cool Jose! Congrats!

We are excited to announce that the winner of this year’s #BiologyLetters #ECR Competition is Jose Borrero. Read "Weighting of sensory cues reflect changing patterns of visual investment during ecological divergence in Heliconius butterflies" here: ow.ly/UqYc50UCnVU @borreroja

Expression quantitative trait locus mapping in recombinant gametes using single nucleus RNA sequencing biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_bioinfo

🔍By capturing mature sperm nuclei, we fine-mapped trans-eQTL hotspots and detected meiotic recombination events. Our study with 5 A. thaliana F1 hybrids reveals that most eQTLs are cell-type specific. Notably, PSV1 regulates sperm nuclei-specific genes 🌿🔬#Genomics #Arabidopsis

🧬Excited to share our latest pre-print! We've developed a rapid eQTL analysis approach using single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing of Arabidopsis pollen nuclei. This method uncovers cis- & trans-eQTLs, including a master regulator of sperm cell development! 🌱📊 #PlantScience #eQTL

The similarity between species and love. We don't have a real universal definition!

🧵🌳 Our new manuscript is out! We explored how somatic mutations in trees spread and propagate through different layers of the plant, improving our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of plant growth and diversity. #PlantScience #Genomics doi.org/10.1186/s13059…

Somatic mutations introduce new phenotypes that are often used in modern plant breeding. Our work now provides insights into somatic mosaicism at the cellular level. We show that in trees, most mutations are specific to cell layers of the meristem. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Hulk_Vogan Congrats! awesome!

We are go for Launch! Excited to announce that my Starship proposal on giant #transposons in #fungal #genomes has been awarded an #ERCCoG!!! This will mean opportunities for postdoc and PhD position, so stay tuned for more.

@Angelik_Cuevas @jgx65 @DEE_UNIL @unil Ala mi china que nota! congrats!

New office, new view! 🤩 Very happy to join the Goudet lab @jgx65 at @DEE_UNIL And super excited to be working on the #evolution and #speciation of barn owls (Tyto) 🦉🧬 @unil 🇨🇭

Many thanks to our incredible instructors and this engaged group of attendees who made the Bioinformatic analysis of Transposable Elements course an absolute blast! 🌟👏 #Bioinformatics #TransposableElements #Genomics

Fantastic work led by @IngridOlivaresa! Extremely happy of taking part on this project. Preprint on diversity radiation in American tropical Palms. Super cool system.

New preprint where we show one of the first examples of hyper-cryptic radiation in tropical plants: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. @SerTusso @kkshimizu1 @UZH_en @UZH_Science. Many thanks to @GraphicsSci for the graphics!

Selective sweeps or small allele-frequency changes? I am very happy to finally share our preprint on a mathematical model for the evolution of quantitative traits. #PolygenicAdaptation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
