🌸 Exciting news: our Digitalis purpurea (foxglove) genome study got published! We uncovered the genetic basis of flower color and morphology - TEs are playing an important role.

One year at Uni Bonn after moving from TU Braunschweig — time really flies! A year full of exciting research, fresh ideas, and strong growth for our group. Grateful for amazing collaborators and supporters along the way. 🚀
On to an even more exciting year ahead!

Katharina is presenting her pigment engineering work at #GCSB2026. Check out P50 and read her recent review paper (https://doi.org/10.1111/plb.70047) to learn more

Today, @boas_pucker@mastodon.social gave an insightful talk on scientific writing and academic publishing for our group (and interested students) at #UniBonn. Covered everything from how to structure a thesis and managing references with Zotero to how peer review actually works - especially useful for early-stage researchers. We will likely run it again this summer when more international guests are around. Interested students at UniBonn could reach out: https://www.pbb.uni-bonn.de
Interested in the genetic secrets of your favorite plant?
A genome sequence might reveal them. We wrote down a workflow from DNA extraction & sequencing to genome sequence assembly & annotation. It includes a hands-on guide with example commands.

RE: @boas_pucker@mastodon.social
We invite highly motivated and experienced students and early-career researchers to join our group in Bonn for a visiting research stay. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience, exchange ideas, and work in a collaborative and supportive scientific environment with excellent computational resources.

@deepdna_ai@mastodon.social Thanks for your comments. Why would you even try to sequence a polyploid genome with short-reads? It should be obvious that long-reads are superior. There is already a comparison by Marks et al., 2021 looking at different assembly metrics.
