1/ We've just finished 3 papers on #transposons #infection #epigenomics #graphGenomes, the result of an amazing collaboration with @LB_Barreiro and Tomi Pastinen. Start of a long 🧵 Image
2/ The first paper by lead author @katiearacena is:

Epigenetic variation impacts ancestry-associated differences in the transcriptional response to influenza infection

3/ @LB_Barreiro just talked about this paper at #BoG22 and @katiearacena has a poster so I'll let them explain their results!

#PlantScienceClassics #7: The ZigZag Model.15 years ago @jonathandgjones & Jeff Dangl published their @nature review integrating Pattern/PAMP-Triggered Immunity (PTI) & Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI) into one unified model of ‘The plant immune system’. doi.org/10.1038/nature… A picture showing Jeff Dangl and Jonathan Jones together, in
In the 1980s, with plant molecular biology still in its infancy, the plant immune system was not understood very well at all. Dangl, at the time an immunologist working on mouse/human cells, remembers: ‘I had never considered that plants could recognize pathogens’.
But this fact, that the molecular mechanisms of the plant immune system were still basically a ‘black box’, is exactly what got Dangl interested and motivated to switch fields, and join the group of Klaus Hahlbrock at the @mpipz_cologne to work on plant immunity. An excerpt from the PNAS article 'Profile of Jeffery L. Dang

Proud to share our new paper!! We explored recent evidence on #epigenetics #transposons and #population #genetics to look beyond the two-speed genome evolution model!! @OggenfussUrsula @danielcroll @MFSeidl sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Genomic compartments specifically benefit plant pathogen lifestyle? Well... genomic compartments occur all across the tree of life @OggenfussUrsula @MFSeidl @danielcroll Image
Then, they are a consequence of #transposon insertions and accumulation? Or a consequence of #chromatin organization? Probably both! @OggenfussUrsula @danielcroll @MFSeidl Image
