Heinrich-Mora & Feldman: "results suggest that mutation rate is systematically structured by chromatin state within functionally constrained genes and that evolutionary processes may act not only on expected mutation rate but also on its variability across loci."

👏🏻APC have become completely outrageous — they’re off the charts, especially in top journals.
Happy to share scHiCAR, an ultra-high throughout (millions of cells), low cost (5 cents/cell including NGS), and trimodal platform for integrated single-cell level analysis of mRNA, open chromatin, and 5-kb resolution looping with ground-truth data the same individual cell.
The $100 whole human genome sequence finally reached!

Now Lei Li, on behalf of @episeedlink.bsky.social students has presented "Junior Germination kit" in our internacional conference. A kit developed by them for using in school with children.
Starting the @episeedlink.bsky.social internacional conference with the first session of talks "Seed to seedling translation"
This week in @science.org, a celebration of plant pangenomes. A pangenome analysis for massively polyploid sugarcane species, and one for Brassica rapa giving insight into subspeciation.
What's all the fuss about pangenomes? Pamela and Douglas Soltis explore this in an insightful Perspective(1/4)
🧵(2/2) Right after that, we’ll join the @episeedlink.bsky.social international conference organised within the project, bringing together 150+ scientists from around the world to share ideas, discuss new findings, and connect across disciplines.🌱🧬🌾🧑🏫
A full week of science
Looking forward to it!
And publish in society owned journals like @theplantcell.bsky.social @theplantjournal.bsky.social Plant Biotechnology Journal, @jxbotany.bsky.social @newphyt.bsky.social @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social and many others!

🚨Given the scarcity of focused genetic studies in animals, it’s intriguing to see a recent study proposing H3K37ac as a stress-responsive #chromatin mark linked to salt-induced transcriptional activation in #rice. 🌾
🥳 We are delighted to announce that more than 150 scientists will gather for our upcoming @episeedlink.bsky.social international conference¡
It’s inspiring to see such a vibrant community coming together to exchange ideas, strengthen collaborations, and shape the future of our research.🧬🌾🌱
