Finally updating some lab RNA-seq data to the new v7 moss genome, and—holy moly—my new little M4 Mac mini exceeded expectations. It aligned 240M reads in 12 minutes. 4x faster than 4-core Intel with more memory!

The Estelle lab has a couple new papers out now. The first is work by current and former postdocs, Zhaonan Ban and Yueh-Ju Hou, describing auxin-independant degradation of a subset of Aux/IAA proteins. academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

Our most recent preprint. We identified a unique protein with NAT and MPK domains which is needed for proper development in Physcomitrium.

As someone directly affected by this, let me be clear: I'd rather lose my job because Harvard chose to fight than keep my job and see a generation of white supremacists parade its corpse around like a war trophy.

I am very happy to see this story published! This was a wonderful collaboration between the @mestelle.bsky.social lab (@ucsandiego.bsky.social) on the moss side, Annis Richardson’s lab on the maize side, and @luciastrader.bsky.social lab’s help throughout. #plantscience #auxin

It took well over 1000 Arabidopsis crosses before I noticed how consistent the ripening time is. I now set a reminder to collect the F1 seeds exactly 19 days later (really late flowers are ready 1 day quicker.)

Uh oh, we just noticed that the "OsTIR1" used in hundreds of papers using Auxin-Induced Depletion (AID) is actually OsAFB2 not the TIR1 ortholog.
