Lighten up your life! We built a “darkbox” with a CCD camera to image bacterial infections across entire trays of Arabidopsis plants. Our technical advance with Python image analysis pipeline out now! @havandenburg.bsky.social @nwtaks.bsky.social bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Do you know Daisy Roulland-Dussoix? She is one of the discoverers of restriction enzymes, who’s findings paved the way for the development of recombinant DNA and cloning technologies. Accordingly, the finding was rewarded with a #NobelPrize. But the prize didn’t go to her. 🧵👇

#Reminder, Tomorrow: We are looking forward to engaging discussions as @dyrnberg.bsky.social talks about the public discourse on #GeneticModification in #Agriculture! Event in German, everyone is invited. @uni-freiburg.de @friasunifreiburg.bsky.social

As the time comes to bid farewell to the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social our lab is organising The Last Supper Social Hour this friday. Come along if you are around...

Viral Vectors can be difficult to use, but Addgene's Viral Vectors 101 eBook can help! Our second edition has helpful content, useful images, and increased accessibility for all. Find it here: www.addgene.org/educ...

It's not always as simple as "one TALE, one S-gene" - very cool work from @kcox-bioguy.bsky.social and the team showing a single TALE targets 3 distinct cotton genes (2 SWEETs and a pectin lyase) to maximize virulence.

Update, postion of lecturer in bioinformatics @rennesuniv.bsky.social

JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN PLANT PATHOLOGY / GENOMICS We have extended the deadlines for the postdoctoral positions. Please apply by January 15! Note that experience with either genome or transcriptome data, preferably on a large scale, is a must for these positions.

I just submitted a proposal, Open Flower, for making a flower design kit for students! 🧬🌹 This kit would allow inducible design and experimentation on "Arabidopsis roses" as a tool for teaching. For details please watch the video here: experiment.com/projects/zzh...

Quick plug for preview article Brian Kvitko and I wrote for Cell Host and Microbe (setting up an interesting paper from Grenz et al. in same issue) and waxing philosophical about subjectivity of host range in bacterial phytopathogens like Pseudomonas syringae authors.elsevier.com/a/1kPEb6t8JE...

Our review is out in Nature Reviews Genetics! rdcu.be/d5AY2 We show how phylogeny-based methods can resolve the problem of non-independence in genomic datasets. These methods must be considered an essential part of the comparative genomics toolkit. @lauriebelch.bsky.social @stuwest.bsky.social

New year, new paper! Now published in @nature.com. We identified and characterised diverse immune cell states in plants under pathogen attack. My postdoc work in the Ecker lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social. A thread (0/n) #PlantScience www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scientific drawing is an important skill that used to be an integral part of a scientist's training 📝 I use vectors for my drawings- here are 5 reasons why they are awesome (1/6 🧵)

New preprint! I always wondered: How much diversity do pathogens have within a single field? This important to assess the risk of resistance breakdown or spread of fungicide resistance . Together with colleagues from BASF we looked into this. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
