We made the front cover of @theplantcell.bsky.social! Huge congratulations to co-first authors @katielong.bsky.social and Ashleigh Lister, corresponding author @cristobaluauy.bsky.social and everyone at JIC, @earlhaminst.bsky.social and @vizgen.bsky.social who collaborated on this exciting work 👏

It's finally out!... Using single-cell and spatial transcriptome data, and data imputation, we created BARVISTA, a website able to perform almost genome-wide information on gene expression profiles at single-cell resolution in barley spikes! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's our birthday! Twenty-five years ago, in December 2000, the Arabidopsis thaliana genome was published and #TAIR was born. Now, we're preparing for the release of #TAIR12 early in the new year. What a long way we've come! bit.ly/3KDJciT #plantbiology #plantscience #genomics #Arabidopsis

Sometimes the best way to progress is to delete all the code I wrote today and start it again.

Honored to be included in this reflection on 20 excellent years of MolSystBiol! From our first phosphotyrosine interactome in 2005 to proteome-wide networks - scale has grown exponentially. MS proteomics + AI is transforming systems-level understanding. Exciting times! embopress.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

If you’re still hunting for color tools, I’m working on a more user-friendly version of meodai.github.io/poline/ keeping you huedrated

Can we all agree to write all the grants in the first semester so we can do other things during the second semester?

This is the next little hand made book I wrote & illustrated. It’s for my son, who was fascinated by insects & creeping crawling things. Woodlice have so many different colloquial names that I’m sure I could add many more to it in a finished edition. Sound up full & apologies for whispering

I made a book, a very tiny book. On vintage paper with watercolour illustrations and a nonsense verse. If anyone wants to publish it for me I would be overjoyed. This is just a rough to see how it works out

The viridis palettes are great perceptually uniform color maps for #dataviz, but sometimes at the extremes they're too pale/dark. With ggplot and #rstats, though, you can truncate the palette to avoid the paler colors. I wrote a little guide for how datavizf24.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2024-12...
