Anna has some cool results from a pretty bonkers hybrid system - hit her up if you're looking for a speaker in your PAG workshop!
Are you organizing a talk session at PAG 33? I would love to speak about my postdoc work on the genomics of variable facultative CAM photosynthesis in a hybrid Yucca species! Possible workshop topics include: hybrid genomics, abiotic stress, non-model species. Please DM me if you're interested!

We hope that these open educational resources can be useful to those who work with natural history collections! There are four modules that this paper walks through. All modules are available on QUBES HUB :https://qubeshub.org/community/groups/bceenet/teaching_resources

Our "Joshua tree is CAM" paper is finally out: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Data collection started back in 2021, when we saw weird results in some RNAseq that made me stop and wonder if Joshua trees, long thought to be C3, were actually...CAM!

PhyIN: trimming alignments by phylogenetic incompatibilities among neighbouring sites
In phylogenomics, regions of low alignment reliability and high noise are typically trimmed from multiple sequence alignments before they are used in phylogenetic inference. I introduce a new trimming...

🥦 Hi! I’m Makenzie, and I study plant biodiversity, focusing on wild relatives of crops in the Brassica family—think cabbages, mustards, and leafy greens. My research explores how these plants adapt to diverse and often challenging environments, revealing insights into resilience and survival. (1/9)

The plants we found were often connected to human habitation. They appeared as weeds in gardens, like Zilla spinosa, or as volunteers in farmers’ fields, where the centuries-old practice of community-coordinated groundwater extraction from oases sustains them and their cousin Brassica oleraceae.
