Our work on chromatin evolution in brown algae is now published in @natecoevo.nature.com! We show that developmentally complex brown algae evolved without epigenetic silencing pathways long thought universal, underscoring why non-model lineages are important to study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

First publication of the year! We set up an image-based quantification of seed phenotypes (here Arabidopsis thaliana). It comes together with a random forest classifier for our favorite phenotype, seed abortion.

The Clavel Group is recruiting a new postdoc for two possible projects dealing with plant-virus interactions and selective autophagy! More (wordy) details below ⬇️🌱🦠

Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It was wonderful to have Bijun with us @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social & @incavirus.bsky.social to finally "use our microscope to its full potential" as our core-facility put it! 🔬 Congrats to all, esp. @bijuntang.bsky.social and @xanderjones.bsky.social ! Super happy to be a part of this great story!

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here it comes, first preprint from my postdoc time at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social in the lab of @claudiakohler11.bsky.social

Samplify: A versatile tool for image-based segmentation and annotation of seed abortion phenotypes https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.18.677122v1

Excited to share the first preprint from my lab @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social in Potsdam! Huge thanks to @o-sulkowski.bsky.social and the whole team for their hard work and dedication. 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Awesome @gmivienna.bsky.social alumni reunion @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social Thx @thevirusmc.bsky.social @incavirus.bsky.social @gesahoffmann.bsky.social & @hebente.bsky.social for a really fun & exciting visit!!!

Our group has an open PhD position in this call! Interested in viruses and stem cell immunity? Apply 🍀 don’t hesitate to drop @incavirus.bsky.social or me a message if you have any questions 😊

It is happening MPI-DS Göttingen announced that they suspend their activity on X

the tool of the elite bioinformatician

🎉 Congrats to @duartedf.bsky.social on receiving an ERC grant for his project NoSexSeed! 🌱 His goal? Enabling crops to reproduce pollen-free 🌍 #ERCCoG More on this: www.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/2778892/
