I am happy to announce the launch of a new Arabidopsis genomics resource! Check out arabidopsislyrata.org Now you can easily look at the natural genetic variation across the entire species range of A. lyrata and A. arenosa.

Are you bored of the low natural genetic variability of Arabidopsis thaliana? Check out our new resource www.arabidopsislyrata.org, where we put together 1018 genomes of A. lyrata and 736 genomes of A. arenosa, mostly outcrossing species that have higher genetic variability compared to A. thaliana.⬇️

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

This year of Workshop on Genomics was great. The participants even organised swimming in the half-frozen river 🏊❄️ #evomics2026

The 2026 Workshop on Genomics comes to an end! It has been two intense and inspiring weeks of Genomics in Český Krumlov. We hope everyone is going back home with a renewed excitement for science and new friends and collaborations around the world! 🙆🏻‍♀️🧬 #evomics2026

Our closing lecture given by Nathan Clark, on Evolutionary Adaptation and Comparative Genomics 🌳🧬🙌🏽 #evomics2026

Happy to be a part of the Workshop on Genomics team! I was just a bit anxious about teaching my basic R skills among so many great lectures from big names of genomics.

For today's evening we have two parallel sessions! 🙆🏻‍♀️ On one side we have Introduction to R, with Miloš Duchoslav (@milosduchoslav.bsky.social) 💻📊 #evomics2026

🌎👩‍🔬 For 15+ years biology has accumulated petabytes (million gigabytes) of🧬DNA sequencing data🧬 from the far reaches of our planet.🦠🍄🌵 Logan now democratizes efficient access to the world’s most comprehensive genetics dataset. Free and open. doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Being human in an economy populated by AI agents would suck. Our new study in @pnas.org finds that AI assistants—used for everything from shopping to reviewing academic papers—show a consistent, implicit bias for other AIs: "AI-AI bias". You may be affected

Applications are now open for the Workshop on Genomics 2026 (11-24 Jan) in Cesky Krumlov, Czechia. For the first time, we are offering Early Bird Registration discounts! 🐣 Do not miss the chance! 🤩 Help us spread the word among friends and colleagues! 🙆🏽‍♀️ #evomics2026 evomics.org/apply-worksh...

Save the date! 🙆🏻‍♀️ The Workshop on Genomics 2026 will take place between the 11th and 24th of January, 2026! In Český Krumlov, Czechia. Regular applications will be oppening mid-July, keep an eye on updates! 🤗 evomics.org/2026-worksho... #evomics2026

Stomatal transpiration and rapid programmed cell death ☠️ triggered by lowered ambient humidity causes anther tissue collapse for effective pollen release ! Happy to be part of this great PNAS story with @kampova.bsky.social, Matyáš Fendrych, and @svosolsobe.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Wow, when I saw @svosolsobe.bsky.social and @kampova.bsky.social starting working on anthers opening as on a completely new topic some years ago, I did not expect that they will push it so far. Congratulations! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Stanislav Vosolsobě@svosolsobe.bsky.social · last yr.

Fifteen years after I first bent over anthers with a magnifying glass to observe the dynamics of their opening, our description of the mechanism of their dehiscence is now published in PNAS!

Are you interested in the genomic basis of repeated adaptation? The RepAdapt group now has >70 members working to re-run their whole genome shotgun datasets through a common SNP calling pipeline, sharing VCFs, and working together to analyse data. Please contact me if you'd like to contribute!

#CologneSpringMeeting2025 was nice small conference. I presented there our fresh results about Arabidopsis lyrata adaptation to serpentine soil and the convergence with Arabidopsis arenosa.

CRC TRR 341 "Plant Ecological Genetics"@trr341.bsky.social · last yr.

That’s a wrap on the Cologne Spring Meeting 2025! A huge thanks to all participants, speakers, and organizers for making this event a wonderful success. Stay tuned for more news and discoveries from TRR341 and the world of plant science. #CologneSpringMeeting2025 #PlantScience #TRR341 #DFG

Happy that I could contribute to this nice paper from our group lead by @soniacelestini.bsky.social. Check out the preprint if you are interested in parallel evolution or serpentine adaptation. I hope that in the next papers we will get deeper in the protein functions, stay tuned!

Sonia Celestini@soniacelestini.bsky.social · last yr.

Excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv! 🚀 We explore the genomic basis of serpentine adaptation in two ploidies and species of Alyssum and reveal evolutionary convergence with Arabidopsis. Check it out! 🌿🔬 #evolution #genomics #arabidopsis #serpentine

Loving deep-sea fish and molecular evolution? We're hiring!:-) Looking for a motivated PhD student to join us to study evolution of vision & to explore limits of vertebrate eye in extreme environment. Deadline 15th March. Thanks for applying and sharing! more info: www.fishevo.com/erc-funded-p...

The Wonders of Genome Assembly! by Marcela Uliano-Silva 🤩 Covering important questions such as, where do I start to produce a genome assembly? Where do I go once I have contigs and scaffolds? 🧬💻 #evomics2025 #bioinformatics #genomics

We are almost at the end of the Workshop on Genomics! 🙆🏻‍♀️ and we have Dag Ahrén explaining Best Practices in Handling Genomic Data! So important to send participants back home knowing how to keep a good order in their projects 📑💻 #evomics2025 #genomics #bioinformatics
