Our review on pangenome graphs for biodiversity is out nature.com/articles/s41588-0… congratulations @secomandisimona @erichjarvis et al. It's a happy and sad day as one of the authors is no longer with us. We will miss you dearly

Online now by Simone Castellana, @MatteoDellAcqu1, @triozzipaolo, @CnrElena, @ThePlantLab @SantAnnaPisa : using eGWAS on 934 non-redundant georeferenced Arabidopsis ecotypes, we have identified functional variants for the gene MBR1 affecting adaptation to rainy environments
Environmental genome-wide association studies across precipitation regimens reveal that the E3 ubiquitin ligase MBR1 regulates plant adaptation to rainy environments #research #PlantCommunications cell.com/plant-communication…

It's a pity that All of Us used UMAP to visualize ancestry variation in their new marker paper, out today in Nature.
The UMAP algorithm, by design, exaggerates the distinctiveness of the most frequent ancestries, a message that can be misinterpreted by the public.
