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 95325

Great news for everyone working with large genomes! With @pyhatanja.bsky.social et al! 🌲 doi.org/10.1111/1755...doi.orgOptimising Exome Captures in Species With Large Genomes Using Species‐Specific Repetitive DNA BlockerLarge 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... 042
