“…the Mu promoter often provides gene expression levels and patterns that are similar to the wild-type gene.” Fascinating how this notoriously mutagenic TE has actually evolved to be relatively benign.
🚨 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

A great project and pair of groups for a budding PhD student!

May be my last Maize Meeting in a while… thanks to all who stopped by to chat with me about TE outward-reading promoters! #MGM2022 🌽🧬
Plant Cell author Peng Zhou bit.ly/3l6zQfs first author of Prediction of conserved and variable heat and cold stress response in maize using cis-regulatory information @orionzhou @taraenders @AuthenticZAM @erikalanemag @pete_crisp @noshjac @shanwai1234 @SpringerNathan
A fresh 11” of very nice powder @ItascaBio & one killer #sundog before driving on a skating rink all the way to Long Prairie before hitting pavement. I left ski-able snow behind - someone better get up there.
My take on on the latest study from @SpringerNathan and colleagues predicting heat and cold stress response in maize using cis-regulatory information is now available at @ThePlantCell: academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…
Great opportunity to share our work on plant gene regulatory networks in maize at #cshlplant. Credit to @orionzhou for his excellent coexpression analyses. Thanks to @SpringerNathan, @sna8, @noshjac, @pete_crisp, @orionzhou for all the support to attend. 🌽genome.
