So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in Nature Publishing. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by Peng Liu. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

We are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive! Edith, who is currently director-general at @EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025. 🔗 crick.ac.uk/news/2024-07-0…

So excited that our work on the near century long Composite Cross experiments is now out in Science Magazine Congrats to all the awesome contributors! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Phenomenal work from the lab of former WeigelWorld postdoc Dan Koenig, following recently published, similarly fundamental studies from the labs of former postdocs Kirsten Bomblies Talia Karasov & Jiawei Wang (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… | science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… | cell.com/cell/fulltext/…)

eLife recruiting for new Editor-in-Chief elifesciences.org/inside-elife/a…

Ready to lead your own research team-?😎The Max Planck Society offers you the chance to head an independent Research Group at a participating Max Planck Institute of your choice - the next open topic call starts on Sep 9, 2024. Stay tuned for updates!🌟 mprg.mpg.de

Just had an amazing time at the HHMI orientation learning about the path ahead, meeting with the incredible new investigators in my cohort, and of course catching up with old friends, Brady Lab and Mary Gehring. Feeling very blessed!

Farewell to my first lab member Ching-Yi Huang who has helped a lot in establishing my research IPMB Academia Sinica (中研院植微所). He is going to join plantevolution.bsky.social 🌱 lab as a PhD student soon. It's too warm in Taiwan that my "Running Jimi" chocolate cake topping fall apart during transport.

Chih-Hang Wu IPMB Academia Sinica (中研院植微所) plantevolution.bsky.social 🌱 Many thanks! Joining CHWLab is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I appreciate your leadership, which has allowed me to grow in every aspect.

Gene Myers just released super fast whole genome aligner github.com/thegenemyers/F…. He and Chenxi Zhou and I have lots of ideas for downstream use.

FASTGA uses very efficient and flexible github.com/thegenemyers/O… file format/library we are now using for multiple purposes. Compressed, indexed, schema-containing binary files with record-based text equivalent. Single C file interface with no dependencies.

Plz RT Recruiting a new colleague w/ experience in plant-pathogen interactions & high-throughput infections. Preferably with a university degree, but applicants with a strong technical education are also welcome. More about us: weigelworld.org nextcloud.tuebingen.mpg.de/index.php/s/xp…

We constructed a pangenome graph with #pggb Erik Garrison to crawl along the regions of the genomes where NLRs or pieces of NLRs are found at least in 1 accession UNTIL we found common (syntenic) anchors bordering those regions in all the accessions --> "NLR neighborhood"

Evolutionary dynamics of defense core elements, NLRs, suggest stochastic variation to ensure plant population adaptation ,(vertebrate individual=plant population?). Nice work from Gautam Shirsekar plantevolution.bsky.social 🌱 et col. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
