Zygnema genome is finally out 🌱🥳This huge effort resulted from various collaborations, also involving multiple MAdLand groups. English translation here uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?i…

New #paper in Nature Genetics by an international team of scientists, including LIBs Iker Irisarri, about Zygnema #genomes . Find out, how they generated the first genomes of complex closest relatives of #landplants . To the paper: t1p.de/fvbl3 #algae

Neue Grundlage für die Pflanzenforschung: Ein internat. Team hat die ersten Genomdaten von vier Sternalgen der Gattung Zygnema entschlüsselt. Algen sind die engsten Verwandten der Landpflanzen. s.gwdg.de/FWZcij, Doi: 10.1038/s41588-024-01737-3, Jan de Vries , University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Excited to share the updated version of our manuscript on the evolution and function of plant immune receptor domains. A great collaboration with Sophien Kamoun Sebastian Schornack and Joe Walker lab UniversityofIllinois. 🧵 from 1st author KhongSam Chia coming tomorrow. academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Assistant Features Editors Bradley Laflamme and Michael Busche co-wrote an In Brief on our evo-NLR story. They do an amazing job and provide an excellent figure that could easily slot into our paper! Check it out 😎 🍁 🍎

Extremely thrilled to share that the Zygnema #genomes paper is now out Nature Genetics We hope that this will be a great resource for all #plantsci #algae MadLand #evolution rdcu.be/dGnWJ
