I am looking to hire a postdoc interested in combining genetics and evolution to understand why telomeres vary so much in plants. My group has been developing Mimulus a genetic model for studying plant telomeres and we have really cool research brewing. Please check ad for detail. Deadline is 12/31.

Excited to share a new method developed from my group thats published at Genome Biology. This was an amazing effort by my grad student Linh @linhngk.bsky.social. We developed Topsicle, a method that analyzes long read data for telomere analysis and length measuring.

Topsicle: a method for estimating telomere length from whole genome long-read sequencing data - Genome Biology
Telomeres protect chromosome ends and their length varies significantly between organisms. Because telomere length variation is associated with various biomedical and eco-evolutionary phenotypes, many...

Our latest paper is out: rdcu.be/ev6Ym — one of my favorite projects. It began about 8 years ago when Nobel laureate Torsten Wiesel asked me: what transcription factors regulate new genes? I had no idea then. Now we have some answers.
Gene regulatory networks and essential transcription factors for de novo-originated genes
Nature Ecology & Evolution - A combination of computational methods applied to single-cell RNA sequencing data and genetic experiments shows that a small number of transcription factors are...

I'd like to share a new method my grad student Linh and I have been developing called Topsicle. Do you have long read sequencing data and wondered what the telomere length of your organism is? If you're wondering then Topsicle is the tool for you!

My lab is looking for a postdoctoral scholar. See image or t.co/bdIxT8eE6n
If you're a plant geneticist or mol biologist and appreciate the wonders of evolution this is a position for you.
We can teach dry lab or genomics so plz consider if you want to learn a new skill!
