Darwin was fascinated by primrose flowers coming in two forms. We were fascinated by a different question: How does this system arise at genetically, and what happens when it evolves more than once? Our new paper in @ScienceAdvances has the answers! 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
Huge thanks to all coauthors, including @YousefiNarcis @ELBotanique @rimjhim_roy @peter_szovenyi @giulio_formenti @CartneyAnn @HannesSvardal and to @erga_biodiv for making this large-scale genomic collaboration across 9 countries a reality!
... and a big shout-out to the ERGA commercial partners that made this project possible: @DTGenomics @ArimaGenomics @PacBio @idtdna @Agilent @ZymoResearch and @illumina

Our new paper is online in genome biology! Big thanks to our collaborator and contributors! @peter_szovenyi @jackpotente link.springer.com/article/10…
Thrilled to share my first News & Views in @NatureGenet!
With Yuling Yue & @peter_szovenyi, comment on a landmark study reporting 100+ bryophyte genome assemblies and what they reveal about plant evolution.

🌱 How does polyploidy shape plant reproduction? Excited to have contributed to a new study in
@MolBioEvol on the loss of distyly in the polyploid Primula grandis!

Here’s an article about our new @CellReports paper, featured in the @UZH_en Faculty of Science news!
We explore how sex chromosomes evolve during transitions to cosexuality, using the liverwort Marchantia quadrata 🧬

What happens to #SexChromosomes when a species transitions from separate sexes to cosexuality?

Proud to share first authorship with Yukiko Yasui (@KyotoU_News), with @peter_szovenyi (@UZH_en) as senior author.
I'm very happy to have contributed to this amazing study led by @aisselaossur and now published on @NatureComms, presenting the 5.2 Gb genome assembly of the Ophrys sphegodes orchid 🧬
I am happy to share that my PhD research is now published on Nature Communications. We assembled the genome of the orchid Ophrys to investigate the genetic basis of plant adaptation to pollinators. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it!

We've just published the first genome assembly of a self-compatible heterostylous primrose! 🌸 What does the S-locus look like in this species? 👀
Out in MER!
@jackpotente et al. describe a #genome assembly for 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑎 𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑖, characterizing the S-locus #supergene controlling heterostyly in this #primrose species.

I am so proud and happy to share our last work published at
@NaturePlants !!
We developed a chromosome-scale assembly and revealed the genetic architecture of the heterostyly and domestication history of buckwheat.
