Our Aegilops geniculata genome assembly paper is out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb… This plant carries the HPP-5Mg (Homoeologous Pairing Promoter) gene that dramatically increases the recombination rate in wheat-wild relative crosses, opening a new era in wheat breeding.

"Telomere-to-telomere assembly of diploid chromosomes with Verkko" now published 🎉 Great work @MikkoRautiaine3 @sergeynurk Brian Walenz @glennis_logsdon @PorubskyDavid @ArangRhie @EichlerLab @sergekoren! nature.com/articles/s4158…

@eakhunov @wwang0604 @KSUPlantDr @wgrc_ksu Good luck in your new position, Wei!

Wishing best luck to our own Wei Wang @wwang0604! Sad to see him leaving KSU. Very proud of his accomplishments! Wei is starting his own lab at Nanjing Agricultural University. @KSUPlantDr @wgrc_ksu

@ForrestKerrie Does the Pretzel orient and order the contigs like the RaGOO ?genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Did you know you can use Pretzel to assess the quality of your genome assembly? Compare pseudomolecules, check scaffold ordering and orientation. Not just wheat! plantinformatics.io #Pretzel #genome #pseudomolecules

We start our fall webinar series with @AlisonRBentley who will present the latest results from @cimmyt wheat program. Book the date! #CGIARWheat #AGGproject 🗓️ Friday 24 September ⏲️ 11am EDT, 5pm CEST 👉 Register now attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/38488…

#Earlyview: Wei Wang et al. report a set of validated natural and engineered variants of Cas12a and Cas9 editors for targeting loci in the wheat genome not amenable to modification using the original SpCas9 nuclease. Read full article here: bit.ly/3B4OWaO @KState
