Happy to share #ourlatest. You may have seen studies investigating how duplicated genes diverge in expression across multiple tissues. Here, we zoomed in in tissues (using #spatial transcriptomic data) to investigate how genes diverge in expression across tissue compartments. w/ @yvdp.bsky.social

Polyploidy Conference! Registration deadline is May 5th cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conferenc...

PAPER from @yvdp.bsky.social in @newphyt.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

6/46 WGD, like multicellularity, evolved many times in history (see www.nature.com/articles/nrg... by @yvdp.bsky.social et al.), driving species radiations and innovations (like at the roots of vertebrates and angiosperms). In fact, most species either are polyploids or bear signs of ancient WGDs.

This was an insane team effort between Arc and Nvidia that convened machine learning and computational biology researchers across Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCSF. Especially grateful to Jensen Huang for his belief and support of this vision and labor of love, and the entire Evo 2 team below

Evo 2 is trained on 9.3T tokens of DNA with single-base resolution at 1M token context length 🥳 We release two models with 7B and 40B parameters along with weights, training and inference code, and pretraining data—making this one of the largest fully open AI models available

In just 5 month’s time we’ll be raising the curtain @debijloke in Ghent www.bijloke.be for Arabidopsis and much much more #ICAR2025 ! Registration is now OPEN, submit abstracts for oral presentations until March 17th, early bird registration runs until April 20th. More info on www.icar2025.com !

Polyploid success isn’t just about growing fast—it’s about outcompeting progenitors! 🌱 We had neopolyploid duckweed and their progenitor invade each other, testing how stress & frequency-dependent growth shape WGD success... or failure. @yvdp.bsky.social #polyploid #duckweed doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We are delighted to bring #ICAR2025 to Gent in Belgium! Abstract submission OPEN! icar2025.com @aabiologists.bsky.social @moritznowack.bsky.social @hildenelissen.bsky.social @bertderybel.bsky.social @mehta-lab.com @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social @viblifesciences.bsky.social

Join the Pereiralab at vib.ai 👇

🚨The future Pereira lab is hiring! We will start at @vibai.bsky.social in Feb 2025 and are looking for a postdoc to join our team 🤓 If you want to leverage AI and large networks to explore and understand the protein universe 🌌, check below! *deadline: 21 Nov 2024* jobs.vib.be/j/93314/post...

First steps on Bluesky. Let's see how much enthusiasm I can raise to send contributions to our upcoming focus issue on Metabolism in Plant Physiology @plantphys.bsky.social

Fantastic start of the #VIBAIsymposium this morning with a welcome by our scientific director @steinaerts.bsky.social and talks by Julien Gagneur and @avsecz.bsky.social

To create awareness, the VIB-UGent eco teams displayed the weight-equivalent of one day of research in waste (180 kg) in their garden, representing a carbon footprint of approximately 1 ton of CO2 equivalents.

Researchers at VIB try to reduce waste as much as possible. Watch the movie here: vimeo.com/1021761528?s...
