panX website for 1,524 Pseudomonas genomes
panX is a software package for comprehensive pan-genome analysis, web-based interactive visualization and dynamic exploration, developed by Wei Ding and Richard Neher.
We have recently assembled the genomes of 1,524 Pseudomonas genomes collected from … Read the rest
Presentation on figshare
Detlef’s presentation at the recent Gordon Research Conference on Plant Molecular Biology – Plant Dynamic Systems, focusing on aspects of epigenetic and genetic adaptation to the abiotic environment and advertising our new Pathodopsis project.
Why Detlef is not afraid of genetically modified plants (in German).
And why it is at the same time nonsense that we will all die of hunger without GMO or genome editing.
A map of climate change-driven natural selection in Arabidopsis thaliana
Exposito-Alonso, M., et al. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/321133
Through the lens of evolution, climate change is a directional selection acting on populations, forcing them to change and adapt, or face extinction. We
Modulation of ACD6 dependent hyperimmunity by natural alleles of an Arabidopsis thaliana NLR resistance gene
Zhu, W., Zaidem, M., Van de Weyer, A.-L., Gutaker, R. M., Chae, E., Kim, S.-T., Bemm, F., Li, L., Schwab, R., Unger, F., Beha, M.
