Mutating 6 genes to change one Petunia species into another: Reconstruction of speciation by modification of major-effect genes in Petunia: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...

Reconstruction of speciation by modification of major-effect genes in Petunia

By modifying six genes in the hawkmoth-pollinated Petunia axillaris, Lüthi and Chopy et al. reconstructed the evolutionary shift to bee-pollinated P. secreta. The engineered mimic is indistinguishable...

New paper out in PNAS! 🍇🧬 Vitis phylogenomics is a tangled vine. Highlights: • ~14% of the average grape genome comes from introgression • Two classic “hybrid species” are better described as hybrid swarms • Repeated adaptation is fueled by introgression and standing genetic variation

The dynamics of introgression and parallel adaptation across North American Vitis species | PNAS

Hybridization between species can contribute to parallel adaptive events. However, the prevalence of introgression is rarely measured across multip...

At #Botany2026, I was hoping to start recruiting for my lab group. If you are interested in polyploidy and population genetics, please reach out.

Interested in Polyploidy and Population Genetics?

Florida State University, Join the Gaynor Lab. My lab is open to both Ph.D. and master students through the Ecology and Evolution area in Biological Sciences at FSU - applications are due December 1st!
I also have funding to support a postdoctoral researcher and a technician during my first three years at FSU. The postdoctoral researcher will focus on polyploidy population genomics. The technician will help with lab work including flow cytometry for genome size estimation and DNA sequencing preparation.

If you are interested in joining the lab, please send me an email with a CV/resume and a brief explanation of your research interests and your career goals

Find out more at mlgaynor.com and email me at shellyleegaynor at gmail.com
