I remember seeing this work at the OIST SPDC 2014 workshop in Okinawa & being blown away. 🤯

A dream come true: the first expansion microscopy images of C. flexa 🤩 Generated by Mylan & Uzuki who learned from the best (@hiralshah.bsky.social @gautamdey.bsky.social @dudinlab.bsky.social). We will learn so much from these!

📣Paper Alert! 📣New publication out @nature.com by @labschneeberger.bsky.social @mpipz.bsky.social and @lmumuenchen.bsky.social on the genome reconstruction of historic potato cultivars. 👏🌿🥔 Congratulations! 🥳👏Learn more 👉 bit.ly/3GeGcGX

Somatic mutations in plants can be transmitted to offspring leading to highly variable fitness effects. This raises the possibility that somatic mutations can impact genetic variation and affect evolutionary processes in plants 🌱

Awesome video and I showed to my Genetics class today to highlight all the concepts we have covered that went into this study.

What is life? How can we understand it? Is thermodynamics the key? A new, graph-theoretic formal proposal by @sfiscience.bsky.social Pedro Márquez-Zacarías and co-workers, suggests how self-organized living processes emerge out of more basic components arxiv.org/abs/2503.03950

New preprint from the @arnausebe.bsky.social lab! 💐

Here @crisnava.bsky.social, @seanamontgomery.bsky.social & collaborators develop a novel ChIPseq protocol, and demonstrate its huge potential to study the evolution of chromatin function and regulation across the eukaryotic tree of life.
