Excited to share our preprint! By avoiding genetic bottlenecks leading to the germline, plant development prevents mutations from spreading to many offspring: doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.05.…

There is a real and imminent threat of a 50% cut in science funding in the U.S. If you believe that this is a terrible mistake, then now is the time to call your local representatives and let them know exactly how it would affect their district. Be specific and talk to a person.

Happy to announce that some of my PhD work in @ProfParrott ‘s Lab has been published! If you use GreenGate cloning to make plant transformation vectors and are looking for a multiplexing option, please give it a read! My DMs are open to chat! doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…

MultiGreen: A multiplexing architecture for GreenGate cloning

Genetic modification of plants fundamentally relies upon customized vector designs. The ever-increasing complexity of transgenic constructs has led to increased adoption of modular cloning systems...

Our deep dive into cis-regulatory diversity using single-cell genomics across maize germplasm reveals how genetic variants reshape chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding, chromatin interactions and much more. Led by @Marand_Lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The genetic architecture of cell-type-specific cis-regulation

Gene expression and complex phenotypes are determined by the activity of cis -regulatory elements. However, an understanding of how extant genetic variants affect cis -regulatory activity remains...

This is so cool! TF function is so much more than just DNA-binding, but its been a lot harder to identify and interpret other aspects of TFs. Activation domains, in particular, tend to be fair "unstructured" and hard to predict computationally. This is a huge step forward!

How do TFs recruit the transcriptional machinery? This critical cellular function is incompletely understood. Led by postdoc Nick Morffy, we experimentally identify Arabidopsis ADs at scale and use this immense dataset to create an AD predictor, TADA. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
