A groundbreaking new collaborative @NaturePlants paper led by @RoseAMarks1, a @michiganstateu PRI postdoc fellow in the @bob_vanburen Lab, sheds new light on the evolutionary origins & mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in resurrection plants. Read more: plantresilience.msu.edu/pri-…

Since the seasonal dunking-on-lncRNAs is back, and I do 💕 lncRNAs, a 🧵 on what I think have been the sources of the main problems in the 15 years of the field so far:

Minimap2-2.27 released with new presets for accurate Nanopore reads and Illumina Complete Long Reads (both recommended by vendors), along with a few minor features and bug fixes. Output alignment identical to v2.26 except the value at a custom tag. github.com/lh3/minimap2/rele…

What if plants could dry out but remain viable, then spring back to life when water is once again available? By studying how mosses cope w/ water scarcity, BTI researchers hope to harness these mechanisms to help make crops more resilient. news.btiscience.org/235225-d…

ALT White texts says "Drying Without Dying: Tracing Water Scarcity Coping Mechanisms from Mosses to Flowering Plants" is overlaid on a close up of moss.
ALT Headshot of Xiaodan Zhang is in the lower left corner. There is a green outline that forms the shape of a leaf. Inside the leaf there is a quote from Xiaodan Zhang that says "This speaks to “a conserved evolutionary mechanism across different plant species which provides insights into the evolution of plant stress responses and how certain key genes have been preserved and repurposed throughout evolutionary time.” The background is a close up of moss.

hey that's our paper!
The Lycopodiaceae are a unique family of plants, often known as clubmosses. Chromosomal genome assemblies for two species in the clade reveal a surprise: Despite diverging 350 million years ago, huge blocks of the genomes remain unchanged. In PNAS: ow.ly/rX7l50QuG65

New Preprint from our lab! 🎉 If you have #directRNA @nanopore sequencing runs, you might be interested in re-basecalling your #RNA002 data with our trained basecalling models and get 97% (!) accuracy! Tweetorial available below by @GDiensthuber, who beautifully led this work👇
29 Nov 2023
My first preprint with the lab is out 🎉!
We benchmarked the ability of our own basecalling models to detect RNA modifications using @nanopore direct RNA sequencing.
Grab a coffee and check out the thread below 🧵!

Proud to announce our Arabidopsis ORFeome paper has been published in @ThePlantCell! We systematically uncovered > 7K novel translation events and found many important genes are regulated by uORFs. @LarryWu90267524 @JustinWWalley

In the land down under, at the very first #PAGAustralia, my post-doc, Xiaodan Zhang is about to give a talk on lessons resurrection moss genomes can teach about seed germination and drought responses in flowering plants! @BTIscience #stresstolerance #transcriptionalregulation

What can a "simple" moss tell us about desiccation tolerance in angiosperms we don't already know? Quite a bit actually! Great collaboration and awesome work by my post-doc Xiaodan Zhang!

Wow. By optimizing the reference transcriptome for scRNA-seq, they were able to identify over 4,500 additional genes and more than 20% extra sequencing reads in human PBMCs. Anyone wants to try this in Arabidopsis?? nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

This is a great summary of a recent controversy. Includes my favorite genomics error: downloading a species’ genome and assuming it is /the/ genome (complete, perfect, and with nothing added)

I think we need to talk about how devastating this cancer microbiome refutation paper from
@StevenSalzberg1
and colleagues is. It really speaks to how devoid of critical thinking and intellectual depth our glam publishing ecosystem has become. 1/n
