Exciting week for the lab! Julia @juliazheku.bsky.social is starting her grad program @ubcbotany.bsky.social @science.ubc.ca with us. She worked on root thermo-morphogenesis with amazing Vikram at Tobias Baskin's lab, UMass Amherst @umassamherst.bsky.social Welcome to the lab, Julia!

We are excited to announce that Lisa is starting with us @ubcbotany.bsky.social @science.ubc.ca as a visiting grad student from Brian Gregory's lab at the University of Pennsylvania @upenn.edu Lisa studies plant hydraulics using single-cell RNA-Seq. And, she will do some cool imaging with us!

What's the difference between dominance and epistasis? Two physically distinct mutations in a gene interact such that the het is identical to one of the homozygotes. If I define the gene as a locus, we call this dominance. If I define each bp as a locus, we call this epistasis.
