Happy to share that our study on heat-induced secondary dormancy is now published! 🌱 Here we studied how natural populations differ in their dormancy response to heat, and how this natural variation can shape local adaptation and future range shifts.🌦️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Heat‐Induced Secondary Dormancy Contributes to Local Adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Seeds should not germinate in conditions unsuitable for seedling growth. Dormancy, which allows seeds to remain inactive in an environment that would otherwise enable germination, helps optimise the ....

AlphaFold’s highly accurate structural models transformed protein biology. Nature reports on the efforts to create a similar system for RNA and why it’s a tougher nut to crack. #RNAsky 🧪

RNA function follows form – why is it so hard to predict?
AlphaFold’s highly accurate structural models transformed protein biology,but RNA lags behind.

longcallD is a new variant caller for genomic long reads. It jointly calls phased small and structural variants. Single binary, one command line for the whole process. Comparable accuracy to mainstream callers. Great work by Yan Gao. github.com/yangao07/lon...

There is remarkably little consensus on how to save a glacier. Technological interventions are starting to be explored but they are controversial and it’s unclear that they would protect life in the ecosystem that is meant to be saved… 🧪 @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Glaciers are not just blocks of ice — plans to save them mustn’t overlook their hidden life
As glaciers begin to disappear, technological fixes to slow or halt ice melt are emerging. But regulations are urgently required before these fixes are used widely.

The many forms of Brassica Oleracea are definitely a testament to humans' tendency to engineer and change things around them to fit their preferences. Also, that some people should not have a say about what's for dinner. 🧪 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Branching from the wild mustard (Brassica oleracea) based on selection for stem (Kohlrabi), leaves (Kale), terminal leaf buds (Cabbage), flower buds (Cauliflower), flowerbud+stem (Broccoli), and terrible life choices (Brussel Sprouts).
