Postdoctoral researcher at Michigan State University, interested in evolutionary biology, plant biology, phylogenetics, genomics, single-cell omics, and bioinformatics. Programmer, gardener, photographer, and electronic musician.
I'm very pleased to have been a part of this great study, which is now out in Current Biology!

A somatic mutation seems to have occurred in my pineapple mint yielding a single albino shoot.

New preprint up: "Single-cell-level response to drought in Sorghum bicolor reveals novel targets for improving water use efficiency."
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Here we show that drought response supersedes differences in cell identity and identify key transcriptional regulators.

This was a long time (too long) in the works, but I'm thrilled that it is finally out:

"How evolution repeatedly builds complexity: a case study with C4 photosynthesis in Blepharis (Acanthaceae)"
And this was chosen for a cover photo:

For most species, transcriptome data are much more readily available than genome data. Without a reference genome, gene calling is cumbersome and inaccurate because of the high degree of redundancy i...
