🚨Our collaboration with @centriolelab.bsky.social & @gautamdey.bsky.social is out today in @cp-cell.bsky.social
We show that #Expansion #Microscopy is a broad-spectrum modality for Euks, enabling 3D phenotypic maps rooted to phylogeny.

(1/6) First and foremost, Auxenochlorella spp. are oily green algae that can be readily transformed by homologous recombination, enabling efficient site-specific transformation of the nuclear genome. This is a first for chlorophytes, and we hope that it will facilitate lots of interesting research

Now out on bioRxiv. 🥳My research on #cytokinesis, averaging thousands of #ExM images🔬, creating a dynamic atlas of cytokinesis 🦠⏳. Here's an animated sneak peek of what we found. Better resolution on bioRxiv😄 #PSFoftheGIF

Really tried to get to the root of our problem during the lab meeting today.
But then I realized that we work on mosses, and roots are exclusive to euphyllophytes, so it's kind of alright.

"We found an arabidopsis mutant developing stomata on the roots!"
Not buying it? Eggcellent! What you actually see is a horn of the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis (and what you read was probably my favorite 1st April joke we did in the lab).

Convergent evolution of mutations in LOG cytokinin synthesis genes leads to loss of prickles across flowering plants. Paper: doi.org/10.1126/science.ado1663 Perspective: doi.org/10.1126/science.adr2473 (26/34)
Convergent evolution of plant prickles by repeated gene co-option over deep time
An enduring question in evolutionary biology concerns the degree to which episodes of convergent trait evolution depend on the same genetic programs, particularly over long timescales. In this work, w...
