1/11 🔥 New preprint alert 🔥 We wanted to know what plants in the wild really care about. So we asked them 🎤. Here is what we learned: “Biotic-response networks are an important organizer of the transcriptome in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Announcing StrainVis! 🦠🧫🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... This nifty web-based tool allows you to visualize your strain level analyses. You can combine ANI and synteny based analyses and it will make all kinds of cool publication ready plots for you - examples follow. By Hagay Enav and Inbal Paz:

We (Nordborg & Weigel labs) need input on the next generation of genome browsers & data download modes for the #Arabidopsis #1001GenomesPlus project. We have now a curated collection of over 500 long read genomes. Please help us by filling out this questionnaire: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

From a gene’s single cell expression–through spatial localization–to novel function, and beyond! Now out @natplants.nature.com We built a comprehensive spatial-transcriptomic atlas of Arabidopsis, revealing cell-type identities across organs in unprecedented detail www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Attending #2025ISMPMI? Let's talk about leaf-associated Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas evolution! Find me at Poster P-278 during Session 1, Tuesday 15th (10:00-11:30). Hope to see you there! @plantevolution.bsky.social

Looking forward to seeing everyone, new and old, at the Microbial Population Biology GRS + GRC in just a couple days! go.bsky.app/GGxRjzC
