Our first inking that something might be amiss with the accepted story of maize origins occurred 13 years ago. Thanks to the efforts of @NingYang9 those hints from long ago are now a new model of maize origins, out today: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Check out my first review! The diversity of peptide hormone systems in plants is truly amazing. I learned so much in the writing process. Thanks so much to @Dsjones552 for writing this with me and helping me through the whole process. Stay tuned for future @thecapitulab pubs
Very excited to share @thecapitulab‘s first paper! @reid_selby and I wrote a COPB review about peptide hormone signaling in plant meristems and just how complex these pathways are (especially in flowering plants)! authors.elsevier.com/a/1hiJm…

@alex_marand Did a wonderful job of pulling this together with co-authors. I definitely learned way more than I contributed here. Great job Alex, Kerstin and Andrea annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10…

After many years of hard work, I am super excited to share this manuscript on the importance of intentionally addressing equity in the classroom! (1/5) nsta.org/journal-college-sci…

🌻Ever wonder how the capitulum evolved? Excited to announce our NSF PGRP award to ask that question! Work will generate new genomic resources across Asterales, Dipsacales and Apiales to address broad questions related to capitulum development and evolution @Dsjones552 @jmbrkphd

@thecapitulab is ready for an awesome #Botany2022 meeting! Be sure to check out @BrannanRose1 (PCB004) and @reid_selby (PDS010) posters this evening if you’re at the meeting to hear about their amazing conservation genomics and flower development work!

New promoter tracks with 2 types of glyphs: a color-coded box showing the 1kb promoter region just 5' of each transcript and predicted core promoter elements (CPE) based on JASPAR profiles. The tracks help provide context for other data with the TSS. On the v5 and NAM browsers.

Our new preprint is up 🎉 -biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We found an odd result while modeling the evolution of TE copy # using sims in SLiM - when we allowed TEs to transpose freely, TE fams that preferentially resulted in neutral insertions more often drove host pops extinct - 1/11

We are super excited to welcome The CapituLab's first graduate student Brannan Cliver this week! @BrannanRose1 will be studying Alabama endemic Asters, building new genomes and working toward understanding their development. So happy to have her on board!

If you want to start with machine learning and want a hands-on tutorial that goes straight to coding:
"Intro to Machine Learning" from Kaggle will help you build your first model!
• 8 lessons.
• 100% free.
• Prerequisites: Python
It will take you ~3 hours to complete.

Our GENESPACE comparative genomics R package is on github! GENESPACE conducts synteny-constrained comparisons of gene copy number and presence absence variation among genomes of any ploidy, and makes graphics like this (synteny among grasses, colored by rice chromosomes):

Just got my plasmid sequencing results back from @plasmidsaurus and the insert is perfecto. Even fixed some legacy mis-sequencing from looong ago. Only 3 SNPs after 10 years of use. I *highly* recommend their services and for everyone to sequence their *entire* construct.
