Does the smell and flavor of strawberries depend on variations in gene-associated transposons? It seems so! Check out our new preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#TEsky The domesticated transposon protein L1TD1 associates with its ancestor L1 ORF1p to promote LINE-1 retrotransposition doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Using #CRISPR #GenomeEditing, researchers discovered a gene in tomatoes and eggplants that controls the number of seed cavities and thus can be edited to increase fruit size. Their work also shows the value of studying several species together 🍅🍆 hub.jhu.edu/2025/03/05/e...

[Please share widely] Come work at the U. of Oslo. We are advertising a 3-year postdoc in Evolutionary and Comparative Genomics. If working with plant evolution in the Galápagos, pangenome and structural variants sounds exciting for you - this may be your chance! www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

If this continues, #PAG33 is going to be a national conference

So long San Diego! Here’s my opinionated meeting report from #PAG2025 | #PAG32. What else did I miss???

We're hiring for a bioinformatics lead at the OceanOmics Centre! L7, come work with all of the cool genomics data! HiFi, HiC, Illumina, a PromethION, it's all there. Sequence *all* of the marine vertebrates! #bioinformatics external.jobs.uwa.edu.au/cw/en/job/51...

Sad developments in the greatest community. Don’t let that happen. 🙏🏼

📖 Lesetipp: In der aktuellen Ausgabe des @laborjournal.bsky.social wird in dem Artikel "Fehler in der Wissenschaft - Makel oder Motor" das Borsteler Model, unsere Fehler-Lern-Kultur und die Rolle der Scientific Integrity Scouts am @fzborstel.bsky.social als best-practice vorgestellt.

Fact check!

»Da die Wissenschaftskritik von Impfgegnern und Klimawandelleugnern demnach keine Kritik an der Wissenschaft ist, sondern vielmehr System- und Elitenkritik, verpufft der Ruf nach mehr Vertrauen ins Leere. Ebenso wenig zielführend ist daher der Ruf nach mehr Wissenschaftskommunikation.«

Happy 3:16 Day

WOW!

I cannot relate to this article. My time at the MPIPZ was the best time of my scientific career. It was challenging and demanding, but the community, the work and the help (independent from which department) was one of a kind! www.dw.com/en/how-germa...

This week we celebrated 20 years of innovation! To mark the occasion, we’re offering 20 complimentary in-person tickets to London Calling for researchers facing barriers to attendance. Apply here: share.hsforms.com/1rfrIYeGhTCG... #nanoporeconf

Regulate patent laws, not progress. Support scientific progress!!! They will save the world again. 😉

Flongle will atill be available for scientists who like to do cool protocols. 💪🏼 If you prefer other FlowCells, they have experts who help you with the transition. 👌🏼

A year ago, I knew that I am leaving academic science. I didn't know and never expected that my life would improve so much by working for a company that I have supported for years.

Es gab ne Zeit da saß ich in sehr sehr guten Lab Meetings.sie waren sozial und konstruktiv. Dann gab es aber auch Lab Meetings die waren lang, asozial und destruktiv. Es kommt immer auf das Umfeld an.

»Oft genug sind Lab Meetings zugleich verkappter Höhepunkt des Soziallebens einer ansonsten vor Einzelgängertum nur so strotzenden Arbeitsgruppe.«

A year ago, I attended PAG the last time as a #ResearchScientist This year I proudly attended PAG at a more suitable role as a Delegate for @nanoporetech.com #AgBio #AgBioChampion #Nanopore

Good move by INRAe (France). France is really doing a lot of good things at the moment

We're collaborating with Genome Canada through the Canadian Precision Health Initiative (CPHI) to build a comprehensive genomic database—unlocking insights into Canada's diverse genetic landscape. Read more: nanoporetech.com/news/genome-... #WYMM #SwitchON
