Severe single-locus heterozygous disadvantage in PLoS Genetics
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
Out in Dev Cell: Impact of NGS on non-model genetics
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
Whole-genome assemblies of four A. thaliana accessions in PNAS
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

MiRNA regulates development, anthocyanin biosynthesis…
MiR156-controlled SPL transcription factors not only regulate leaf size, speed of leaf initiation, phase change, flowering and trichome formation, but also anthocyanin biosynthesis.
Just out in Plant Cell: MiR156-controlled SPL transcription factors not only regulate leaf size, speed of … Read the rest

Finally! Arabidopsis lyrata genome published
How one can lost a major part of its genome in just 10 million years?
If you want to find out how one can lost a major part of its genome in just 10 million years or so, and to … Read the rest
TIPS review on miRNA networks in development published
Although there are relatively few miRNAs in Arabidopsis, they are more highly connected than one would expect by chance, and form regulatory networks with many direct interactions.
These networks in turn have important roles in the control of development. Read … Read the rest
TIPS review on fast-forward genetics published
Implications of next-generation sequencing enabled genetic approaches for plant biology and plant breeding.
In this review, we discuss the implications of next-generation sequencing enabled genetic approaches for plant biology and plant breeding.… Read the rest
