Seqera has released a new case study featuring Australian BioCommons: Australian BioCommons Standardizes Bioinformatics and Scales Compute Access Nationwide with Seqera.

The transition from seed to seedling requires chromatin reprogramming. By studying the histone variant H2B.8, the authors show that it organizes silent chromatin in dry seeds and reveal that water upt...

Mapping gene activity in the wheat ear reveals domains that regulate spikelet number and yield potential.

There is probably not a plant scientist on the planet who has not heard of AlphaFold (Jumper et al., 2021). Many of you reading this have likely used it. What began as DeepMind’s attempt to apply…

Australian researcher, George Bouras, has recently contributed an extraordinary 17 million protein predictions to the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database. This work was possible thanks to the availability of the ColabFold tool on Setonix AMD, the result of collaboration between BioCommons and the P

Spatially resolved gene expression during barley development was done by integrating an scRNA-seq dataset from cells with unknown position with spatial transcriptomics. This dataset is publicly availa...

The University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor, who has died aged 52, was driven by a deep love of science and a desire to safeguard the planet’s future.

More than two years ago, TAIR took the lead in a volunteer-driven project to reannotate the Arabidopsis thaliana genome

Peer review is widely viewed as a critical aspect of biomedical communication. Ideally, it provides authors with feedback so they can improve manuscripts and gives readers, particularly nonspecialists...

A pangenome of oat, assembled from 33 wild and domesticated oat lines, sheds light on the evolution and genetic diversity of this cereal crop and will aid genomics-assisted breeding to improve productivity and sustainability.

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.

Newly-discovered diversity in the wheat genome could offer vital new opportunities to improve and ‘climate-proof’ one of the world’s most important staple crops.

The authors introduce ChronoGauge as a machine learning model which can estimate a plant’s internal circadian time using gene expression. This can be used to compare the circadian clock across differe...

RNA-binding motifs in eukaryotic proteins are presented in a comprehensive resource.
