“…the Mu promoter often provides gene expression levels and patterns that are similar to the wild-type gene.” Fascinating how this notoriously mutagenic TE has actually evolved to be relatively benign.

🚨 We've got a new preprint out 🚨 - We developed a series of logical frameworks for analyzing how transposable element content contributes to structural variation (SV) within maize 🌽🧬🌽. How'd we do this + what did we find?? - 1/11

A great project and pair of groups for a budding PhD student!

A fresh 11” of very nice powder @ItascaBio & one killer #sundog before driving on a skating rink all the way to Long Prairie before hitting pavement. I left ski-able snow behind - someone better get up there.
My take on on the latest study from @SpringerNathan and colleagues predicting heat and cold stress response in maize using cis-regulatory information is now available at @ThePlantCell: academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…
Great opportunity to share our work on plant gene regulatory networks in maize at #cshlplant. Credit to @orionzhou for his excellent coexpression analyses. Thanks to @SpringerNathan, @sna8, @noshjac, @pete_crisp, @orionzhou for all the support to attend. 🌽genome.
Excellent talk by @jennbrophy7 about her exciting work in the @JoseDinneny lab on using synthetic biology approaches and logic gate gene circuits for engineering root systems #cshlplant .

About a year ago @DrMaddyOravec told me that mitochondria are paternally inherited in🥒. I could not stop thinking about it. This paper is the result. 2 main takeaways - there's (1) no good answer to this question + (2) new tech makes exploring this question feasible!!!
New paper with @ManishaMuna: 'When and why are mitochondria paternally inherited?' sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Many thanks to @judithmank + @HarmitMalik for the invitation to contribute to this special issue.
Really exciting to finally have this out! Especially interesting how CO2 assimilation in C4 species when going from higher to lower light was stronger AND more sustained than in C3 species (also quite proud of my graphs for this one too...)
Is C4 photosynthesis really not so efficient under low light? Comparative gas exchange of closely related C3 and C4 species under fluctuating light suggest the opposite. ⛅️🍃 Very excited to present @lifebylucia's latest! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

3 years ago, @yanivbrandvain asked if I might be interested in adding @nathanspringer as a co-advisor for my postdoc. It ended up being one of the best decisions I could have made. I've had just the absolute best time in his lab, and I'm excited to see what comes next.

I would argue that the same is true of many eukaryotic genomes. Great swaths of the maize pangenome, for instance, is almost certainly selfish DNA that is exploiting the space made available by less than perfect purifying selection.
Final PDF format (OA) I argue that Natural Selection, intragenomic co-operation, conflict & compromise has led to the development of pangenomes as evolving ecosystems Prokaryotic Pangenomes Act as Evolving Ecosystems academic.oup.com/mbe/article/40…
Beautiful PhD defense from @erikalanemag as @SpringerNathan looks on. Keep an eye out for Erika’s work in Mu transposon biology 🧬 🌽😎
Excited about #PAG30! Looking forward to share the science that we have been doing and to make new friends that are also passionate in helping people via plant science
If you are going to #PAG30 be sure to check out @AndyChen_Wheat talk on his work on cis-regulation of SVP MADS-box TFs in wheat. Really cool story at the 'Systems Biology of the Crop QTLome' session, Tuesday, Jan 17 1:30 PM. Not to be missed!
