- Reposted by Arun SeetharamI totally forgot that in addition to the radical genomics, Michelle put together a website where you can learn about the biology of all the species we looked worked with: mcstitzer.github.io/panand_assem...
- The consequences of polyploidy are... well, complicated. A deep dive into polyploidy in a massively successful tribe of grasses. A masterpiece led by Michelle Stitzer, representing the work of a lot of folks on the PanAnd project over last 7 years. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Arun SeetharamNew preprint featuring my favorite maize-relatives, the Andropogoneae! We sequenced the genomes of 27 species, including lemongrass, kangaroo grass, little and big bluestem, and more -- key species that shape grasslands and prairies worldwide. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Arun SeetharamThere are now 24 step-by-step guides, explaining how to create these ⬇️ data visualizations with R/ggplot2 - I hope this is a useful resource. Find them all here: joachimgoedhart.github.io/DataViz-prot...
- Reposted by Arun SeetharamI have written a couple of threads 🧵 on "classic" #PlantScience papers. I always tag them with #PlantScienceClassics , but will also compile them here in this thread: 👇

- Reposted by Arun SeetharamBy definition, enhancers can activate from a distance. But with increased distance between enhancer and promoter, the activation drops. To study this systematically, we build a synthetic locus: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 1/12

- Reposted by Arun SeetharamThrilled to see this paper out! 🎉 We analyzed 470 (!) angiosperm genomes and identified and dated 132 whole-genome duplication events. Importantly, we observed that WGD occurrence dates are not randomly distributed, but clustered at times of major environmental upheaval.
- Reposted by Arun SeetharamExciting news! The latest hifiasm release from Haoyu Cheng and Heng Li adds beta support for @nanoporetech.com simplex R10 reads. Initial results look very promising. 🚀 Check it out: github.com/chhylp123/hi...

- Reposted by Arun SeetharamWe are proud to announce a collaboration with UK Biobank to create the world’s first large-scale #epigenetic dataset of 50k participants. The dataset will unlock crucial insights into how #epigenetics drives disease & the breakthroughs to treat them. Read more: nanoporetech.com/news/oxford-...

- annoy a bioinformatician with these simple phrases: "Can't you just use Excel?" "Isn't BLAST basically Google for DNA?" "But did you annotate it?"
- Reposted by Arun SeetharamCome join us in Tucson!! I am excited to announce a tenure track faculty position on the genomics of resilience @uofa-eeb.bsky.social! Read more about the position in the updated link below! We will begin reviewing applications on December 9! arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...

- Reposted by Arun SeetharamNew pub out from my lab today in MBE, led by my PhD student Tamsen. We develop a forward time polyploid genome simulator, build an inference model, test it on empirical datasets to show that a majority of plant genomes are of allopolyploid origin. Do check it out! doi.org/10.1093/molb...
