The latest preprint from @drericabiophd.bsky.social lab is now out! Chick out (check out) my lab mate Arvind's preprint for his single-cell atlas of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Check out our work on peroxisome motility and actin bundling. Many thanks to our collaborators in the Hu Lab at MSU.

Our latest New Phytologist paper has been assigned an issue. #PlantScience #SecMet nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Both papers advanced our understanding of how specialized metabolism are regulated in rare cell types to achieve cell type specificity. 1/n🧵

New paper is online! We used single cell RNA-seq & phylogenetics to identify 2 additional cell type specific TFs that control late-stage vinca alkaloid biosynthesis. The key insights originated from Camptotheca, another species that produces alkaloids. doi.org/10.1111/nph.... #PlantScience #SecMet

I'll be joining the Department of Plant Biology at Michigan State University in Mid August as an Assistant Professor. cxli233.github.io/cxLi_lab/

New preprint! We used single cell sequencing & metabolomics to look at cell type specificity of specialized metabolism in Camptotheca, the source of chemotherapeutic agent camptothecin, as well as comparative analyses w/ Catharanthus, which we previously worked on. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here we updated the 2013 C. elegans RNA-binding protein (RBP) compendium from the Walhout lab! We also catalogued RBP gene expression and developmental phenotypes, with a particular interest in RBPs that are predicted to act in a gene- and RNA-specific manner 🪱
