My first ever reagent ordered for the lab came in today! Never thought I would be so excited to see CTAB 😂

Oh that’s interesting, if it’s a MYB I’d have guessed it’d be in a larger group, yeah. But since it seems highly diverged maybe it makes sense — we know it’s a MYB from conserved binding domain but high sequence divergence and uncertainty in gene trees seems like it could give orthofinder trouble

Were you expecting a larger gene family for this particular gene (suggesting some kind of artifact), or just curious about some of the output?

Hi #Botany2025 - In my quest to never do flow cytometry again, I am collecting sequence data (radseq, target enrichment, WGS, ect.) with confirmed ploidal level. If you have samples, reach out!
