I will file this away and return to it regularly for self assessments. I would like to be the advisor that my students want me to be. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This was by far the best workshop I attended at PAG this year. Presenters spanned a wide spectrum of career stages and everybody was phenomenal. I left with a lot of food for thought and am still mulling what to bring from this session into my own research program. plantgene.sivb.org/hope-yet-exi...

This looks promising. I am curious to find out how to get in on the early access and to know how much per base they charge.
One year ago: 600 bp
Today: 50,000 bp
We are now accepting early access orders for synthetic DNA up to 50 kb — delivered in <4 weeks.

Solanum pan-genetics reveals paralogues as contingencies in crop engineering - Nature
Gene duplication and subsequent paralogue diversification are major obstacles to genotype-to-phenotype predictability.

I am very excited that I received seeds for the Green Venus non-browning Romaine lettuce. These are the first gene edited lettuce seeds that I have had that I didn't produce myself or obtain from someone I worked with personally.

Being in the Hort Department at OSU has some pretty nice side benefits. First there was the corn, squash, green beans, broccoli, and hazelnuts coming out of the breeding programs after they finished the evaluations for this season and then there was this lovely surprise courtesy of the Sagili lab.
