The International Journal of Applied Food Science and Nutrition is apparently looking for a new cookbook. I am afraid they might not have even read the abstract of our preprint, "Cookbook for Plant Genome Sequences." 😀 www.doi.org/10.20944/pre...

Exciting news! The results of Syafiq’s research visit are now online 🎉 Great to see such solid work from an undergrad pay off. If you are into gene duplication or plant evolution, check it out: 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025... @puckerlab.bsky.social #Genomics #Bioinformatics

Excellent work from @piotraz.bsky.social group demonstrating juxtaposition of heterozygous & homozygous regions in maize attracts meiotic recombination to het regions rdcu.be/eHmn9 @natplants.nature.com builds from work we did together in Cambridge on Arabidopsis way back in 2015. Great stuff Piotr!

How long does it take to sequence a plant genome? The most decisive factor is the genome size, but with an efficient workflow, an annotated genome sequence can be available within days to weeks. Read the full story: www.doi.org/10.20944/pre... #Genomics #SciComm #SciArt #Bioinformatics #PlantSci

Friday Flower 005: Arabidopsis thaliana 🌱✨ A tiny flower, but a giant in research, thale cress enabled our understanding of flower development through the "ABC Model". With this knowledge, their flowers can be essentially reprogrammed to produce micro-roses 🧬🌹

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Our new associated partner @bpucker.bsky.social at @puckerlab.bsky.social offers in December (8-10 and 10-12) two F2F training courses in Bonn about #Plant #genomics and functional #annotation. For more information see: Course 1 - www.denbi.de/training-cou... Course 2 - www.denbi.de/training-cou...

@denbi.bsky.social is the next days at the #EPPS25 in Bonn. We teamed up with @wggc-de.bsky.social for a workshop and with #phenet for a booth. #plant #phenomics @sebastianbeier.bsky.social

I'm making a collage of Arabidopsis habitats for a seminar. If you have photos to share, such as these iconic ones from @mexpositoalonso.bsky.social & @coevolution.bsky.social, please send to [email protected]. Please let me also know how to attribute them. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Since updating our preprint 'Cookbook for Plant Genome Sequences' (www.preprints.org/manuscript/2...), I have suddenly received a flood of invitations from predatory journals. Curious — why would a simple preprint update trigger such attention? Has anyone else noticed this pattern? #Preprints

Friday Flower 004: Hibiscus trionum 🌺✨ Hibiscus trionum displays a dark bullseye in the center that acts as a landing pad for pollinators 🎯 The bullseye is made by a developmental boundary delineating distinct cell shapes and pigments.
