New PhD opportunity available in my lab, in collaboration with Betty Chung (Cambridge), focusing on plant RNA viruses and AI-driven design. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Rather than a static database, we've built an AI plant scientist that could continuously learn new knowledge😃Hope it will help the plant science community!@haopengyu.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social @thesainsburylab.bsky.social @universityofexeter.bsky.social #AIscientist

De novo annotation reveals transcriptomic complexity across the hexaploid wheat pan-genome - Nature Communications Available wheat genomes are annotated by projecting Chinese Spring gene models across the new assemblies. Here, the authors generate de novo gene annotations for the 9 wheat genomes, identify core and dispensable transcriptome, and reveal conservation and divergence of gene expression balance across homoeologous subgenomes.

Our pan-gtranscriptome analysis delivers a detailed roadmap for gene expression and regulation promising to fuel innovations in crop improvement to face climate challenges.

Super proud 👍👍👍 @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

Excellent example of the great nucleic acids research at UCL.

75% slowing of clinical progression of Huntington's disease using gene-silencing technology.

Great science with massive impact on patients from Prof Sarah Tabrizi and team 👏

Efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes with LexicMap - Nature Biotechnology LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Sometimes you meet absolutely incredible bioinfo-magicians.
It was a huge privilege when @shenwei356.bsky.social
joined our group for a year on an @embl.org sabbatical.
While here, he developed a new way of aligning to
millions of bacteria, called LexicMap 1/n

Our paper on VEL-dependent polymerization is featured on the cover of this month's issue of @cp-molcell.bsky.social 🎉 The cover art was created by my talented friend Awesta - the result of hours of brainstorming together over video. Great fun teaming up for this!

NEWS - Shining new light on the processes that switch off genes

In new research which appears in Molecular Cell @cellpress.bsky.social, Dean group researchers have used Arabidopsis thaliana to investigate the functional role of polymerization in epigenetic silencing.
