For anyone interested in more detail on the project, we also wrote up the Great British Liverwort Hunt as an open-access Zenodo data deposition zenodo.org/records/1004...

Through a citizen science project, we asked members of the British public to collect gemma cups of Marchantia and send them to us, which we then established in sterile culture, and sent to @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social’s lab for their sequencing efforts. It was a wonderful collaborative effort!

(2/2) Giant sex chromosomes were discovered in Silene latifolia more than 100 years ago. Two papers back to back now show the sequence of the 550 Mbp Silene Y chromosome helping to understand sex determination

These four trees grew in very different climates and atmospheres. Their preserved structures can provide clues about the ancient environments they once lived in.
Scientists use these specimens to chart historic climate change and make predictions about the future of our planet. 🌍
