During secondary growth, primary protective barriers break, and a new one forms beneath: the phellem. But what triggers phellem to differentiate and become a functional barrier? Our results show it’s mechanical cues from tissue rupture 🌱 Check out our preprint 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵/1

New pine results from our PhD researcher Robert Kesälahti! 🥳 Species-specific DNA blocker helps to capture more unique reads and less repetitive genome than a universal blocker. Great news for everyone working with large genomes! With @pyhatanja.bsky.social et al! 🌲 doi.org/10.1111/1755...

Optimising Exome Captures in Species With Large Genomes Using Species‐Specific Repetitive DNA Blocker
Large and highly repetitive genomes are common. However, research interests usually lie within the non-repetitive parts of the genome, as they are more likely functional, and can be used to answer qu...

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions
Pie chart:
74% hydrogen
25% helium
1% other (in tiny font)

Scots pine offspring grow relatively close to their parents, despite that the pollen may fly hundreds of kilometers. 🌲 News report on our study on pine family structure on the University of Oulu homepage. 😊 www.oulu.fi/en/news/new-...

New research into the secrets of the forest: the Finnish tree population is made up of families and neighbourhoods
Although the offspring do not usually travel very far from the mother tree, the forest is still a mosaic of families.

Egads. Just learned of this article in carbon costs of bioinformatics. Thanks @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social for pointing it out. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...
