So many great new #meiosis papers, too little time? Look no further! My new review covers all the latest on crossover interference, the impacts of genomic and epigenomic features and how they work together to shape crossover patterning in #plants. bit.ly/3cfofZQ.

Our new paper on #meiosis in allopolyploid #Arabidopsis suecica is out now The Plant Journal. Thanks to all involved, particularly Candida Nibau! Love this image showing chromosomes preparing to segregate! For the aficionados -> sub-genome specific centromeric 🐟 bit.ly/3or7aPk

It is through our #incredible #animated #lessons that we seek to #disrupt how #biology is learned and understood. Every 3D structure you see in our lessons is shown #accurately and to #scale.

➡️Thrilled to share 🤩 our work now 🔥HOT OF THE PRESS in Cell (read n’ share, it’s open access!): "Repeat-based holocentromeres influence genome architecture and karyotype evolution" #epigenetics #centromere #chromatin #polyploidy 🔗 bit.ly/3zVw2p1 🧵[1/]

Great opportunity in a great lab!

Wow! This is pretty amazing - perpetual hybrids… great work all!

Stumped Merlin Bird ID today. I think it’s a crow? Do they practice scales elsewhere in the world? Or is this just an #Aberystwyth thing? RSPB? Kaeli Swift, Ph.D.? Anyone? Perhaps they’ve been listening to Welsh choir warmups? 🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤷‍♂️#WhatBird #BirdID #CrowSingsScales

Our new paper compares meiosis in natural and neo allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica. Homoeologous crossovers are 20-fold more frequent in first generation polyploids and show a strong bias toward chromosome ends. #meiosis #polyploid Candida Nibau IBERS - Aber bit.ly/4dZW7F0
