New preprint from the lab Maximizing meiotic crossover rate reveals the map of Crossover Potential biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We pushed the meiotic crossover machinery to the limit and had some surprises! @JuliJing @Qichao_Lian
🥳Happy 🥳to share the final version now officially published in @NatureComms Repeat-based holocentromeres of the woodrush Luzula sylvatica reveal insights into the evolutionary transition to holocentricity nature.com/articles/s4146… Awesome work from @YMata_Sucre and Marie Krátká
🔥Thrilled to announce our recent work🔥 Repeat-based holocentromeres of the woodrush Luzula sylvatica reveal new insights into the evolutionary transition from mono- to holocentricity Now on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congrats on great work from @YMata_Sucre @KratkaMarie
Our analysis of crossover interference in meiosis is now online: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 🎉 We introduce the interference distance L_int as a new scalar quantification (Online tool at zwicker-group.github.io/crossover-inte…). L_int allows us to compare data across species, mutants, and sexes!
nature.com/articles/s4146… Lint, a new tool to measure Crossover Interference, the greatest mystery in the field of #Meiosis4ever. Lint is complementary to the classical coefficient of coincidence (CoC). Bonus, a easy online tool to plot both CoC and Lint from your data 👇

Big congratulations to Alexander Mahlandt from the @Raph_Mercier Lab @mpipz_cologne on successfully passing his viva! 🎓🥂 Wishing you the best on this amazing achievement and the exciting journey ahead! 🌿 #PhDone #PhD #PlantScience #Careers
A reminder: @UNC Chapel Hill’s @UNC_Biology starts evaluating applications for a cluster of tenure track Assistant Professors: two in Plant Molecular Biology and one in Plant Evolutionary Biology this Friday so get your apps in and tell your friends! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/288640
Workshop on Chromosome Biology: "Plank meets Leibniz", October 8 - 10, 2024. At a meeting in Gatersleben, chromosomal biologists from @mpipz_cologne and @LeibnizIPK exchanged ideas and talked about the most recent advancements in their respective fields of study.
Very nice meeting to strengthen collaboration between @mpipz_cologne and @LeibnizIPK chromosome biologists

Our paper was published in @Nature. We discovered a new aspect of the meiotic homolog pairing process named Rapid Homolog Juxtaposition (RHJ). During RHJ, homologous loci undergo spatial juxtaposition from far apart to very close together in a short time. nature.com/articles/s4158…
📣New research from our and @MonicaPradillo ‘s labs shows what happens when MLH1/3 complexes are lost in Arabidopsis! 🤩 Lots of unexpected findings! Special thanks to @NadiaKbiri ‼️ Genetic dissection of MutL complexes in Arabidopsis meiosis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Have you ever wondered why you and your siblings are different? Join us for an exciting public talk by our post-doc Joiselle Fernandes within the walls of our greenhouse @mpipz_cologne 🍅🌿⏰ 1 Oct, 6 pm. Find out more and register 👉 bit.ly/4gEv1VM #plantsci #scicomm
For the Spo11/meiotic afficionados, the labs of @Spo11Rulz and Dinshaw Patel now provide notable structural and mechanistic insight, in a paper we here @NatureSMB are glad to feature. nature.com/articles/s4159…
