Great to see potato move into the CRE arena with the new report from the Jiang lab on how an enhancer in the intron of the vacuolar invertase gene controls cold-induced sweeting in potato tubers. A new path towards improving storage life of potatoes!

Exciting to see about evolution of CREs in soybean following WGD using MH-seq by the Jiang Lab MSU. Enhancers involved in maturity and nodulation were validated using CRISPR! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Alot of excitement at #AGBTAg23 with Josh Wood from the Buell lab on nuclei isolation for single cell work in plants.

Excited to be at #AGBTAg23 with Brieanne from Buell lab team presenting our The Potato 2.0 Project progress! uda uda Dept. of Agriculture

Spring is super early in Georgia this year. Out with the CJ Tsai & Bob Schmitz lab collecting poplar flowers for our new DOE BioPoplar project!

Very excited to read about super enhancers in Arabidopsis from the Jiang Lab @MSU just out in PNAS! One is within a topologically active domain and controls a gene cluster involved in thalianol biosynthesis. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Congratulations to UGA Genetics PhD student Audrey Ward, who won Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Yeast Microscopy Competition in the category of Best Special Effects and Editing for “Ghost in the Cell,” an image of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 🎉 🔬

One of the last things to set up my lab Buell lab uda uda arrived today! This will make trips to the growth chamber facility from the lab so much easier!

Excited to see the new Jiang lab paper on intronic enhancers out in The Plant Cell that 'fine tune' gene expression. Nearly ~2k intronic enhancers in Arabidopsis validated with GUS and CRISPR! Wonder how many are in big complex genomes like potato!

Thanks to our awesome collaborators! C Robin Buell John Hamilton Buell lab Dudareva Lab Purdue Biochemistry

Nearly generated a 3 Mb read on Oxford Nanopore. Only ran 2 libraries so throughput was a little lower than usual. Excited to launch this method and see new records every week.

CEPAMS GROUP LEADERS - We are looking for tenure-track Group Leaders to run internationally outstanding and innovative research programmes. Based either in Beijing or Shanghai. Closes Friday 3 July okt.to/W23ZNh

Excited to be working on the The Plant Cell- Focus issue on The Biology of Plant Genomes. Deadline for submissions Sept 1, 2020 with publication in April, 2021. The Plant Cell
