💥🥳 At long last, our latest paper is out! Gag proteins of endogenous retroviruses are required for zebrafish development www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Led heroically by Sylvia Chang & @jonowells.bsky.social A study which has changed the way I think of #transposons! No less! 🧵 1/n

Came across a strange website that appears to be some sort of LLM generated scam product for weed growers. Interesting to see that while the LLM has hallucinated all the citations it does get the right volume for the publication year. www.growwithgrease.com/blogs/news/f...

Some auxin-related reading for the week-end: ARFs are degraded, too. - "Comparative mutant analyses reveal a novel mechanism of ARF regulation in land plants" rdcu.be/ehnOT - "ARF degradation defines a deeply conserved step in auxin response" rdcu.be/ehnPa #PlantScience

Proud to present the first data paper from the lab, published today in @pnas.org. We describe a new mechanism for CLE peptides as local symbiosis-amplifying signals, promoting plant interactions with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Congratulations @sagarbashyal.bsky.social et al.!

I'm a scientist working on understanding and manipulating the interactions between plant roots and beneficial microbes, with an interest in plant hormones and synthetic biology. Check out my publications: orcid.org/my-orcid?orc...
