Our new study, led in collaboration with Helmholtz Munich as part of a global collaboration, was published yesterday.
It generated the first wheat pan-transcriptome – a comprehensive map of gene activity across multiple wheat varieties. rdcu.be/eJOPs

We developed machine learning models to infer circadian phase from single plant samples, using it to explore variation in circadian timing. Great collab with @c-reynoldsuk.bsky.social @ajwhall.bsky.social @hannahcr6.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chronobiology
Machine learning models highlight environmental and genetic factors associated with the Arabidopsis circadian clock - Nature Communications
The authors introduce ChronoGauge as a machine learning model which can estimate a plant’s internal circadian time using gene expression. This can be used to compare the circadian clock across differe...

Well done, Connor, on submitting your first paper as the first author: "Machine learning models reveal environmental and genetic factors associated with the plant circadian clock." And a nice collaboration with @antdodd.bsky.social #circadian #plants Should be on bioarchive in the next few weeks.
