While there's lots of work to be done, mamp-ml is a critical advancement in plant immunology for accelerating receptor-epitope characterization and engineering resistance. Mamp-ml is on Github and on Google Colab for easy use. Please check it out! github.com/DanielleMSteve…

#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible! Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance!🚀🌱 Small🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

“For groundbreaking discoveries of the immune system and disease resistance in plants.”: Jeffery Dangl, Jonathan Jones, and Brian Staskawicz, Wolf Prize Laureates in Agriculture 2025, have revolutionized our understanding of plant immunity and disease resistance.

Our SCN episode of Farm4Profit just came out!

Very useful piece for everyone, not just for scientists.....I feared presenting my research to an audience—until I tried stand-up comedy | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

The 2025 winter pulse meetings have come to a close and we learned lots from leading industry experts on the latest developments in the pulse industry and what growers need to know. Learn more in this podcast episode: spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/EwuwMW31YQb @AgronomistSPG

This isn't science fiction. This is real sequencing biotechnology just introduced by Roche. Wild and wonderful.

Having a clear plan for a data analysis and visualization project is crucial. It ensures efficient resource utilization, timely insights, and accurate interpretation of findings, leading to informed decision-making. Here are the typical steps of a data analysis and visualization project in R programming: 1️⃣ Data Import: Gather your data into R, setting the stage for later steps. 2️⃣ Data Manipulation: Prepare your data for analysis and visualization. 3️⃣ Descriptive Statistics: Calculate key data characteristics to understand your data better. 4️⃣ Inferential Statistics: Dive deeper into your data, validate hypotheses, and make informed decisions. 5️⃣ Results Visualization: Showcase your findings with compelling visuals to communicate the impact of your analysis effectively. Explore my webinar, where we'll dive deeper into these steps.
