Please RT! !! My lab is looking for a postdoctoral associate in Plant Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics. Anyone interested in epigenetics and bioinformatics is encouraged to apply. Experiences are NOT required! explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5241…

A TE-deactivated Ruby gene?

This is a very important result, with lots of implications for understanding diversification rates: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Together with @celimouseMontp and @freddelsuc, it is our great pleasure to announce the publication of the Open Access "Phylogenetics in the Genomic Era" book hal.inria.fr/PGE/ #OA #PGE #Phylogenomics (1/6)

I hope you like our new paper on transposon age and non CG DNA methylation rdcu.be/b2BW2 feedback will be much appreciated.

We are pleased to release genome assemblies and gene model annotations for 26 maize NAM inbreds for immediate use without restrictions. See nam-genomes.org. Supported by NSF-1744001 with Matt Hufford (@mbhufford) Doreen Ware, Candice Hirsch (@HirschCandice) #NAMgenomes

Congrats to prof. Ksenia Krasivela, plant genomics researcher, on being named a @MooreFound’s Moore Inventor Fellow! Krasivela was recognized for her work as a scientist and her dedication to reducing #foodinsecurity. #MooreInventors ow.ly/dTTw50wLQrE @UCBerkeley

Something I wish I knew at start of my PhD: sitting destroys your body. Unless you're actively doing strength training and mobility exercises to combat this, you will suffer aches and pains due to shortened hip flexors, weak glutes and hamstrings which can lead to backpain, etc.

You know what is so cool about studying transposable elements? The incredible diversity of topics that you end up dealing with. Aging, cancer, differentiation, inflammation, brains, and, of course, blind mole rats that never get cancer because TEs kill the pre-cancerous cells.

Large remnant oak trees are sometimes retained within CA vineyards, but no study has ever quantified the benefits. Bats offer a natural form of pest control for vineyards & these oak trees provide needed habitat. Learn about the work by PSW & @ucanr here: ucanr.edu/News/?routeNam…
