Comparative genomics plot of sugarcane
Our groups' goal is to produce genomes that are useful; this does not always mean 'telomere-to-telomere' assemblies. The hybrid sugarcane genome is a nice example of this. The article is out this week in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I can now share some of the illustrations I’ve been working on last summer. These are from an upcoming book about the links between aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Thanks @florianaltermatt.bsky.social for the opportunity to design the figures. The book link: www.haupt.ch/buecher/natu... 🧪🐡

Current starting point for postdoc salaries at Oxford University is just over £36k - £2.7K under threshold. According to The Royal Society 62% of postdocs are non-UK nationals (5/6 in my lab). Two things: (i) postdocs are underpaid; (ii) UK science is screwed

The origins of maize were the subject of controversy for well over a century. Even in the 1950's botanists like Edgar Anderson weren't totally sure what continent it came from!
We published today a new model for maize origins (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). Let me tell you how we got here. 1/

First author Josh Schraiber posted this new preprint of ours on the other place, but he's not on here yet, so I guess it's up to me

An infographic illustrating the concept of genetic gain.
Genetic gain is the change of the average phenotypic value between the parent and offspring populations due to selection.
For a given trait (e.g. tree height), the frequency distribution has a peak around the mean and tails of extreme values.
In the offspring generation, the distribution is shifted to desired direction as a response to selection.
Genetic gain realised in forest reproductive materials is further modified by other factors such as pollen contamination in seed orchards.

The logo for Prof. Tanja Pyhäjärvi's research group. They are based at the University of Helsinki and study forest genomics and breeding.
The logo includes a distribution of fitness effects (a graphic representation of the mutation effects on the organism), a pine cone to symbolize plant reproduction, letters of genetic code (ATCG), and 0/1 numbers to signify numerical methods.

Hi BlueSky - I’m a biologist and scientific illustrator open to commissions of scientific figures, illustrations, infographics, etc.
I’ve designed infographics about forest tree breeding, love drawing plants and silly characters for fun,
and also made a logo for @pyhatanja.bsky.social

Impact of whole-genome duplications on structural variant evolution in the plant genus Cochlearia
bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution
Our new paper is up on bioRxiv! We study how whole-genome duplications influence structural variant evolution in a natural diploid—autopolyploid system. With @leviyant.bsky.social and others.
Check it out if you like polyploidy, SVs, long-read sequencing, or pangenomes. #evobio
