New In Brief out in The Plant Cell, co-authored with Dr. Travis Lee! We highlight recent work by Katie Long, Ashleigh Lister, and colleagues, who adapt MERFISH–based spatial transcriptomics to the anatomically complex wheat spike. 🧵👇

✨ Excited to share our new In Brief article in The Plant Cell! Co-authored with Fabian and Bruno, our piece highlights work by Almeida-Silva and Van de Peer that uses spatial transcriptomics to uncover how gene and genome duplications shape plant evolution.

Great day at the London Single Cell & Spatial Discovery Symposium! 🌟 So many inspiring talks and success stories in spatial & single-cell biology — and wonderful discussions with the community. Huge thanks to the 10x team for organizing such a great event! 🙌

🌟 Excited to be speaking at the London Single Cell & Spatial Discovery Symposium this Thursday. 🧬 Looking forward to connecting with the single cell and spatial biology community and learning from the amazing 10x-perts.

Weekend Reading Recommendation #1 📚 ✨ Write No Matter What by Joli Jensen Key takeaway: Writing can be frequent, low-stress, and even enjoyable—a daily practice, not just a deadline scramble. 👉 I’d love to hear: What’s a book that’s shaped how you work, learn, or create?

New OA Article: "A single-cell rice atlas integrates multi-species data to reveal cis-regulatory evolution" rdcu.be/eHce3 Chromatin accessibility in rice & related grasses: how regulatory DNA elements evolve across cell types & species; identifying potential silencers.

🌱 Excited to share my new personal academic website! 👉 minyaojhu.com Inspired by the Nature Index article "Build-your-own website for scientists", I wanted to create a hub to present my research & foster collaborations.

Excited to share our latest In Brief in The Plant Cell! 🌱✨ With Dr. Chai Hao Chiu, we highlight Horta Araújo et al.’s discovery of AeRLCK2, a Receptor-Like Cytoplasmic Kinase that drives Nod-independent nodule formation in Aeschynomene evenia. doi.org/10.1093/plce...
