Does this make me a satirist now?

Arcade games do this particularly well, perhaps because they need to communicate clearly what to do and attract passing players. Alternatively, Angry Birds is immediately understandable what with the catapult on one side of the screen and a rickety structure on the other!

The paper began life as a chapter from my PhD thesis, but morphed into a distinct piece of work as we improved figures, tightened up arguments, and did additional analysis. Huge thanks to my co-authors and my PhD supervisors Richard Morris and Judith Irwin! #Brassica

Very pleased to have this work published! Using gene expression data from the apex and leaf, we compared two varieties of oilseed rape over the course of floral development. Amongst flowering time genes, we found evidence of gene subfunctionalisation. t.co/kjI9nYUXsS

Graphs showing gene expression patterns for two copies of the gene SOC1 in Brassica napus. The patterns suggest that the genes have undergone subfunctionalisation.
