An interactive PAML Wiki is now available! Please read the thread published by Ziheng's Lab to learn more about the PAML discussion group & the PAML GitHub. Hope you enjoy the Wiki as much as I enjoyed working on it 💫 P.S.: The Wiki is still a work in progress, more to come! 😄

🍇Te mostramos el adelanto del documental “Hacer vino en el desierto” realizado por @CONICETDoc, el cual recorre laboratorios, viñedos y bodegas mostrando cómo los científicos del Consejo comparten metodologías y descubrimientos que elevan la calidad y sostenibilidad de la viticultura en el entorno del desierto mendocino. 🤝Con el acento puesto en la sinergia entre científicos, productores y bodegas, el film presenta la innovación que posiciona a Mendoza como una región vinícola de renombre mundial.🧵

How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

Wrapping up a four-week workshop on scientific writing with a great group of students, as part of the PhD Program in Science and Technology, FCEN, @UNCUYO. Such a pleasure to co-teach this course with my friend/colleague @mvspmvsp.

Very happy to share our new preprint with @FedericoCeriot1, @JumpingGenomes, and @mvspmvsp using specialized sequencing techniques to characterize #tRNA aminoacylation and post-transcriptional modifications in #Arabidopsis. Feedback appreciated! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Se agradece difusion!

Reposting this open postdoctoral position to work with me, Erin Bertrand and Alastair Simpson on the exciting Anaeramoeba-Desulfobacter symbiosis!!!!

Congratulations to @FedericoCeriot1 from @mvspmvsp, CONICET-UNCuyo, 🇦🇷, awarded an IUBMB Wood-Whelan Fellowship to @SloanEvoLab at @csubiology, @ColoradoStateU,🇺🇸, to work on "The Essential tRNA Hypothesis – Overcoming the final barriers to complete plastid genome loss".

Do you know that 2/3 of available plant genomes were sequenced in the last three years (20-23)? See summary @NaturePlants Technology-enabled great leap in deciphering plant genomes nature.com/articles/s4147… Visit N3 database (plaNts, geNomes, techNologies) : ibi.zju.edu.cn/N3database/

Check out our study on the respiration of the holoparasitic plant Lophophytum mirabile. OXPHOS works just fine despite the tremendous impact of horizontal gene transfer from its host! doi.org/10.1016/j.cpb.…

New work by @GusWaneka: UV treatment produces 26-nt mitochondrial DNA fragments in yeast – and related findings in plants+flies. What’s going on here? Novel mtDNA repair or degradation pathway??? Would love ideas and input! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here's a (rather unscripted!) video giving a bit of background on our recent maths + bio study in @NewPhyt: how plants sort out mtDNA and ptDNA damage youtu.be/PCEbyCnnZoE?fe… via @YouTube (paper link below...)

Delighted to present our paper on how plants segregate mtDNA and ptDNA damage (their version of the "mitochondrial bottleneck") here nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… (quick summary here eurekalert.org/news-releases/… ) Thanks @SloanEvoLab for another great collaboration! 1/
