🚨New paper published in @nature.com! Using pan-genetics across the Solanum genus🍅🥔🍆we reveal why gene duplications🧬are major contingencies in crop engineering. My postdoc work in the Lippman lab @CSHL, collab. with @katiejenike.bsky.social @mikeschatz.bsky.social chatz.bsky.social and many others!

Solanum pan-genetics reveals paralogues as contingencies in crop engineering - Nature

Gene duplication and subsequent paralogue diversification are major obstacles to genotype-to-phenotype predictability.

The future of farming is written in the genome. 🌽🔬Scientists at CSHL are using MaizeCODE, to unlock ways that could allow crops to survive drought, resist disease, and feed more people.

Corn’s ancient ancestors are calling | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

The domestication of maize is one of the greatest examples of humankind’s impact on evolution. Early farmers’ pre-industrial plant breeding choices turned corn from a nearly inedible crop into the maj...

new preprint from the lab! Elli Cryan, coadvised but the inimitable @spicybotrytis.bsky.social, does a deep dive into the GA incompatibility loci in maize, finding complex haplotypes, overturning evolutionary origins, and discovering a paramutation system! A 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Molecular evolution of a reproductive barrier in maize and related species

Three cross-incompatibility loci each control a distinct reproductive barrier in domesticated maize ( Zea mays ssp. mays ) and its wild teosinte relatives. These three loci, Teosinte crossing barrier ...
