How many other people teaching Genetics go into how Mendelian genetics concepts do not need DNA to be true?
Or how Mendelian genetics does not inherently make causal arguments?
Or how polygenic traits follow Mendelian rules?

New paper out! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... This was a really fun dive into somatic mutation and plant developmental biology. 🌱

Looking up at your SNPs towering over the bonferroni line. (He’s impressed with the significance, but wondering if you accounted for population structure)

I spent 14 years at a teaching-focused primarily-undergraduate institution (PUI) and found it be a stimulating, challenging, and rewarding environment. Check this out 👇

Quick visit to the cinque terre before the Gordon Research Conference for quantitative genetics! Living on cappuccini (many) and a dream, can’t wait to share some science!

If you’re at #PAG32 & love crazy genome evolution, check out my talk on Thlaspi arvense pangenomics later today in the Analysis of Complex Genomes workshop! I’m also organizing the Polyploidy workshop with a great set of talks on various aspects of polyploid genomics & evolution tomorrow afternoon!

Merry Christmas! Very excited to share my first first author manuscript available in pre-print now!
Mariele Lensink (coadvised with @grey-monroe.bsky.social) has conducted a detailed analysis of natural variation in Salicylic acid response in the Bay x Sha RIL population biorxiv.org/cgi/content/.... Aka Thesis Chapter 1.
Trans-regulatory loci shape natural variation of gene expression plasticity in Arabidopsis
Organisms regulate gene expression in response to environmental cues, a process known as plasticity, to adjust to changing environments. Research into natural variation and the evolution of plasticity...
