Not surprisingly, my bubble is plant scientists and biologists; nice map

Here's how you can visualize gene expression during P. patens reproduction, from egg/sperm to spore, in the new web tool peatmoss.plantcode.cup.uni-freiburg.de

Good morning

In remembrance of Peer Bork  | EMBL EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General. 

We mourn the passing of Peer Bork, EMBO Member since 2000: https://www.embl.org/news/embl-announcements/in-remembrance-of-peer-bork/

"Perhaps I'm old and tired," he continued, "but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied. Look at me: I design coastlines. I got an award for Norway."

Thanks for your inspiring talk on evolution of plastid polymerase!

Thanks @philcarella.bsky.social and @moodytomato.bsky.social for the invite and for everybody having me, it was a great meeting! @watertoland.bsky.social

Congrats indeed @petrollromy.bsky.social and also @dvarshney.bsky.social - well done!

Good morning. Here you can see a windmill growing next to its siblings.

Autumn. Has its advantages.

Structure of the far-red photosystem I from cyanobacteria that indicates the position of the chlorophyll f molecules that enable the cells to use far-red light for photosynthesis.

Very happy and proud to share the #Spirogyra genome: 50 Mbp small, lacking almost all plastid division proteins and many transcription factors. Kudos to all the many people involved in this multi year project!

Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

Here's 123 new bryophyte genomes for you!
Apparently, bryophytes time and again include microbial genes in their genomic repertoire, and occupy a langer gene space than vascular plants.

Have a good start, Simon!
