🧬 We introduce RUP (RNA-Seq Usability Assessment Pipeline), a quality control pipeline for bulk RNA-sequencing data tiny.cc/qn1v001.
🧬 RUP is useful for anyone working with RNA-seq data -especially those interested in evolution, like the ICIPS crowd 🌱. #PlantScience #transcriptomics #rna-seqdata

🧬 We’re excited to share our latest publication tiny.cc/qn1v001, featuring a great collaboration with our favorite bioinformaticians in Giessen (and yes… guess who came up with the pipeline name 😄). #PlantScience #transcriptomics #rna-seqdata

🧬 useful for everyone working with RNA-seq. #PlantScience #transcriptomics #rna-seqdata

🧬 This guide walks you through the step-by-step process, covering the installation of necessary tools and interpreting the results necessary for initial quality control of your RNAseq samples. It provides you with a solid base to decide if samples are of sufficient quality for downstream analyses.

🧬🌱 I am happy to share our recent publication highlighting collaboration with our favorite bioinformaticians in Giessen (guess who coined the pipeline name...).

Excited for a second #GreenHorizons training session with undergrads on #PlantScience that feeds the world! Today we’ll learn about the new tools that are transforming plant breeding, and what the future could look like for wheat. 🌾 🌱 #STEMCareers #FutureOfFood

I think this is one of the most powerful displays of what genetic engineering can do. Flower size and organ identity changed. And flower colour changes in a temporal order.
It shows we really understand flower development to a remarkable extent.
Awesome @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social!

FT-like genes in Cannabis and hops: sex specific expression and copy-number variation may explain flowering time variation - BMC Genomics Cannabis sativa is a fascinating, yet under-researched, species. To facilitate the global expansion of C. sativa cultivation a greater understanding of flowering time control is crucial. The PEBP gene...
