#PlantSciJobs 🌱
Postdoc (x2) and Research Assistant (x2)
Dr Edwige Moyroud is seeking 2 Postdocs and 2 Research Assistants to join her investigating petal patterning
Applications close:
5 June: Research Assistant bit.ly/4a32ffK17
17 June: Postdoc bit.ly/4dT2LOC
ALT Microscopy images of a petal showing petal patterning developing in the young petals. Around the image is 6-stages of hibiscus development from closed bud to open flower. The flower is plit in two to show one flower with a dark purple bullseye and one flower fully white with no pigment petal patterns.

Check out our latest work! AlphaFold 3 revealed a transient immune receptor complex that eluded biochemical studies for almost a decade🤯 We describe a conserved structural logic underlying sensor–helper communication in an NLR immune receptor network 🧵👇

🚨 EffectorGeneP is finally here! Stop missing small, single-exon or orphan genes from your favourite pathogen genome. Current tools only annotate 15%-78% of effector genes, EffectorGeneP finds 95% - including the large AvrSr26 family in stem rust. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Protein structure prediction changed biology. Protein assembly discovery is next.
We present SNI (Structural Novelty Index), a scalable framework for finding new protein complexes.
We used it to uncover an unexpected resistosome assembly: 11-mer. 🧵👇🏻

New preprint out! 🚀

We mapped how septins organise infection in the rice blast fungus—and found they are far more dynamic than previously thought.

This is so interesting, I have this issue with bedtools, and I spent hours trying to figure out the all the mismatches. Thank you for the tips.
1/ Your bedtools intersect returned zero results. You stared at the screen for 20 minutes.
The BED file looked fine. The command was correct. Everything should have worked.
I've debugged this exact problem hundreds of times. It's almost always one of these 4 traps:
