Had a lot of fun presenting my new SNSF postdoc.mobility project at APCOP-V 24. It was super refreshing discussing #TEs in the context of marine green algae 🪸

Our latest preprint is online: “Population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe”.
Thank to first author @jigi_sha and to the many collaborators that contributed to this study! 1/8

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!

Our new @ThePlantJournal research on ribosomal RNA expression in Cardamine allopolyploids unveils insights into epigenetic regulation and genomic rearrangements, including uniparental silencing of 5S rRNA genes.

Very grateful to have been able to contribute to this collaborative effort with 28 authors. We show e.g. that two LTR retrotransposon families preferentially insert in einkorn centromeres, contributing to their dynamic evolution. @thomaswicker314

Check out the last chapter of my PhD on #Triticeae de novo genes! Non-coding regions of #TEs could hold the key to functional innovation in TM domains and evolution of secreted proteins. 🌱🌾

Oats, triticale, hull-less barley, lupin, faba beans and buckwheat are rarely cultivated. The EU project @H2020Cropdiva intends to change that. Agroscope analyses the value chains of four of these crops in order to promote their cultivation and processing.

Poster alert at #ESEB2022! I'm presenting the first chromosome-scale genome assembly of the Biscutella genus, plus interesting observations on 3D chromatin organization and centromeric TEs.

@alexsoti_92, our colleagues and I just published a paper reporting the spread of wheat powdery mildew across the world in historical times. Mildew spread through human migration and trade and locally adapted through hybridization.

Happy to see our work now published #openaccess in @NewPhytologist ! 🔥
We heat-stressed #Arabidopsis and found highly drought tolerant plants in the next generations!

Our preprint on Triticeae-specific genes is out! Here, we identified de novo genes underlying important Triticeae adaptations, and we propose TEs as hotspots for the evolution of adaptive secreted proteins.

It's finally out! This broad spectrum resistance allele is will help sorghum farmers deal with a devastating fungal disease. Thrilled to have played a role in figuring out how this unusual gene is regulated by transposons (!) and antisense transcription. academic.oup.com/plcell/adva…
