The Josephs Lab (josephslab.github.io) is joining PRI! PI @emjosephs shares, "we're very excited to join and learn from the interdisciplinary group of scientists in the PRI." Together, they're interested in how evolution shapes plant responses to challenging environments.

Hey #MGM2023, come and check out our method for detecting TE presence/absence in a maize diversity panel at poster 224. @emjosephs, Adrian Platts, and with collaboration with @ManishaMuna and @SpringerNathan.

On my way to #MGM2023, excited to meet and talk with folks -- I'll be talking Saturday at 7:20 PM about our work looking at how TEs contribute to structural variation in inbred maize lines 🌽🌽

🚨 We've got a new preprint out 🚨 - We developed a series of logical frameworks for analyzing how transposable element content contributes to structural variation (SV) within maize 🌽🧬🌽. How'd we do this + what did we find?? - 1/11

I'm super excited to share my first 1st-author publication with the world! doi.org/10.1101/2022.10.26.5… I and my advisor, @emjosephs, tested a hypothesis proposed in a 2010 paper by @SnellRoodLab

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

How old are moss sex chromosomes? Do they have strata? Do they degenerate? @sarahbcarey has answers - check out biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Chromosome fusions shape an ancient UV sex chromosome system

Chromosome fusions shape an ancient UV sex chromosome system

Sex chromosomes occur in diverse organisms, but their structural complexity has often prevented evolutionary analyses. Here we use two chromosome-scale reference genomes of the moss Ceratodon...

Hi everyone! This isn't how I normally use Twitter, but now that I'm finished with 8 years of grad study, I'm on the market for a job in #scicomm or as an editor. I'm putting out a steady stream of apps, but if you happen to know of open positions, I'd love to hear about them 🙂

On my Valentine's day date with my girlfriend and we both get demoted out of #TAGC2020 poster preview. Not a better time to be rejected. </3
