The BM^2 Lab is hiring a Ph.D. student to work on a variety of problems connected to modeling of morphogenesis in plants (i.e. ovule curvature formation, fixed handedness establishment in certain plant organs and its link to cell wall mechanics).

Please share!

🌿💻 Plant Models and Morphology 💻🌿

The 9th International Plant Computational Biology Workshop @slcuplants.bsky.social brought together mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and biologists exploring plant development through models and simulations.

Huge thanks to organisers and speakers!👏

Very happy to share MODIS - a new Multi-Omics Data Integration method for Small and unpaired datasets!

We solve a long-standing problem in the field: how to perform data integration for small unpaired datasets

Our solution: learning with class imbalance on both reference and target datasets!

Amazing illustration @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social 🌺!
I wish we had something like this to illustrate the dynamics of our model!

Friday Flower 004: Hibiscus trionum 🌺✨

Hibiscus trionum displays a dark bullseye in the center that acts as a landing pad for pollinators 🎯

The bullseye is made by a developmental boundary delineating distinct cell shapes and pigments.

🚨 Paper Alert 🚨
Absolutely delighted to share our last paper on "spatial mechano-transcriptomics" @naturemethods👇!!
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A computational pipeline for spatial mechano-transcriptomics - Nature Methods

The authors present a computational framework that leverages mechanical force inference and spatial transcriptomics to enable analyses of the interplay between the transcriptomic and mechanical state.

We were delighted to host @zardilis.bsky.social from Cambridge's Sainsbury Laboratory during the past two weeks! It was a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas on the spatial biology of plants and beyond. Interesting new methods combining expression patterns, morphometric and physical features!!
