1/ How conserved are plant stress responses across 1 billion years of evolution? We built a cross-kingdom stress atlas spanning 36 species, from green algae to angiosperms, across 9 stresses. 13.6M DEG calls from 3,200 manually curated experiments. 🧡biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

1/🌱 Can we map how an entire field actually does science? We built the Research Process Graph (RPG): a new way to capture not what a paper knows, but what it did, as Question β†’ Method β†’ Finding chains. New preprint πŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ

7/It's also a tool. Our public database includes a "Digital Professor" that turns any natural-language question into a literature-grounded research prospectus. πŸ‘‰ rpg.connectome.tools/πŸ“– publish.obsidian.md/mutwilla… ⬇️

8/RPG is journal- and field-agnostic. Next: extend it across the entire plant-science literature. Huge thanks to Jing Yang & Manoj Itharajula. What would you ask the literature if you could query its reasoning directly? #PlantScience #LLM #AI

20 years of plant biology in one chart. We asked: which techniques rose, which faded (source, Plant Cell)? RNA-seq: 0.3% β†’ 34% (β‰ˆ100Γ—). CRISPR: 0 β†’ 21%. Northern blot, microarray, RT-PCR: collapsed. Western, qPCR, confocal: still everywhere. #PlantBiology

Few days ago we shipped RPG β€” every Plant Cell paper as a Qβ†’Mβ†’F graph. 150,000 nodes, 2,600 papers. Today: the people who connect those papers. A new expert similarity network at rpg.connectome.tools 🌱 1/6

Why this matters beyond plant biology: science happens at intersections. Between people, between fields, between methods that shouldn't have been combined until someone did. Making those intersections visible is the goal. Try it free: rpg.connectome.tools Built by @MutwilLab

Currently, the analysis is limited to open access corresponding authors from Plant Cell (for now)

It is said that science and art are related, and @AnneOsbourn1 definitely takes it to the next level.

Reading a scientific paper takes hours. No PI, no student, can keep up. And keyword search finds words, not ideas. So we built a Research Process Graph: a new way to read the literature. rpg.connectome.tools 🌱 1/7

Why this matters beyond plant biology: Science is structured knowledge stored as unstructured prose. RPG turns the research process itself into a queryable database. Ask the literature directly -> get grounded, paper-linked answers in seconds instead of weeks.

Plant biology is just the start. The approach generalizes to any scientific field. Try it free: rpg.connectome.tools Built by the @MutwilLab at the University of Copenhagen. Feedback welcome at discord.gg/qr8tYYHu7Y as this is early.
