The origins and adaptive consequences of polyploidy in a dominant prairie grass Polyploidy is ubiquitous across North American prairies, which provide essential ecosystem services and rich soil for agriculture. Yet the mechanism driving polyploid abundance is unclear. Multiple hy...

Super proud of @alyssa-phillips.bsky.social 's paper, now out on biorxiv! She resolves the origin(s) of polyploid big blue-stem, a dominant species in the midwest tall-grass prairie. Her common garden analysis also informs on environmental adaptation and hints at the impacts of polyploidy.

Gene Editing: Precision Breeding Regulations Now Live FIRST PUBLISHED: 14.11.25 BY LAURA TURCHI AND MIA CERFONTEYN | THE SAINSBURY LABORATORY

I just published: Gene Editing: Precision Breeding Regulations Now Live

On 13 November 2025, UK regulations for precision bred plants came into effect. We can now register precision bred plants, such as those with disease resistance and reduced reliance on fungicides.

Accumulation of a Biparentally Inherited Neptune Transposable Element in Natural Killifish Hybrids (Fundulus diaphanus × F. heteroclitus) Abstract. Transposable elements (TEs) are abundant selfish genetic elements that can mobilize in their host genome, causing DNA damage, mutations, and chro

Roussel, Suh, @fjruizruano.bsky.social & @amdioncote.bsky.social characterized TE content in naturally occurring killifish hybrids, finding higher TE load and accumulation of Neptune subfamilies in hybrids.

Wow, I never really noticed this 'fastp' software. I'm apparently the only one though.

They simply re-used an existing name already employed by popular and historically significant software. How is this kind of thing possible?
