Now in Heredity by Salomé et al.: The recombination landscape in Arabidopsis thaliana F2 populations Recombination partitions alleles segregating in the progeny of hybrids, and thus has important consequences for the distribution of phenotypic variation … Read the rest
Last year, we published a paper on DNA mutation rates in A. thaliana, based on the analysis of the genomes of 5 mutation accumulation lines that shared a common ancestor 30 generations ago. We have now determined the methylome of … Read the rest
We just published its first major phase, based on 80 accessions representing much of the native range of the species.
Finally — after several previous papers in which we developed the tools and vision for the A. thaliana 1001 Genomes … Read the rest

Our latest work on hybrid incompatibility
Out in PLoS Genetics. Our work provides insights into how tandem arrays, which are particularly prone to frequent, complex rearrangements, can produce genetic novelty.… Read the rest
Developmental Cell is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Beth Rowan, Detlef Weigel and Dan Koenig are discussing how next-generation sequencing is leveling the playing field for forward genetics in many different species. Read more here.… Read the rest
We have developed a new approach to whole-genome assembly that exploits the high-quality reference genome of Arabidopsis thaliana.
In PNAS, we just published genome assemblies for four strains, including the popular Ler (Landsberg erecta) and C24 strains.… Read the rest
