Thanks to everyone who made this happened!! @a_hancoc @PdraicFlood @mehmet_goktay + Tom Theeuwen + Paula Avila + Mark Aarts @mpipz_cologne

Overall, this new intercross population provides a complementary resource for dissecting the genetics of adaptation — in Cape Verde and potentially beyond. If you’re interested in trait architecture, island evolution, or multiparent populations, I hope you’ll find it useful.

Excited to share our new paper on Arabidopsis adaptation in the Cape Verde Islands!! 🌱🌋 We developed a new multiparent intercross population to uncover genetic variants that were previously difficult to map. Here’s a quick overview 🧵 @GeneticsGSA academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…

Very happy to share our work in @ScienceAdvances! We show that a two-step adaptive walk rewired nutrient transport in a volcanic thale cress population. @a_hancoc, @ERC_research, @mpipz_cologne, #EPPN2020, #IRT1, #NRAMP1, #hard_sweep, #soft_sweep. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/16

@AndreaFulgione Thank you! It was a pleasure to have worked and learned so much with you. I'll come by next time I need a job 😉

Congratulations @ccarolinaneto !! An extraordinary person and scientist, I would chose her as a colleague or collaborator over so many others!

@a_hancoc Thank you! It was a pleasure to be part of the @a_hancoc group! But it's not over -- there are still many more papers to come! 😉

Great to see that this work shared by @ccarolinaneto at our #GenomicForecasting Symposium last year is out! “Parallel reduction in flowering time from de novo mutations enable evolutionary rescue in colonizing lineages”🌱👀

Neat example of adaptation at the molecular level: "we identified a single peak containing a nonsense variant, K232X, in FRIGIDA, which results in faster flowering through loss of the vernalization (cold) requirement"

@mpipz_cologne @a_hancoc @uni_copenhagen @NatureComms Thank you! Great 5 years at @mpipz_cologne !

We congratulate Célia Neto (@ccarolinaneto) who has recently obtained her PhD in @a_hancoc's group @mpipz_cologne. Célia has just started her postdoc @uni_copenhagen and published a large body of her work @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s4146…. Good luck in 🇩🇰, Célia!

Parallel loss of FRI and FLC function reduces time to flowering and drives adaptation in a drought prone environment for Arabidopsis. @AndreaFulgione @ccarolinaneto @ahancoc nature.com/articles/s4146…
