🧵🌳 Our new manuscript is out! We explored how somatic mutations in trees spread and propagate through different layers of the plant, improving our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of plant growth and diversity. #PlantScience #Genomics doi.org/10.1186/s13059…
If you're looking for me/wonder about lack of activity here, I'm where the sky is blue and my timeline shows me science instead of crap.

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/

Es ist gut, dass @MelAmann Markus Lanz ins Gesicht sagt, dass seine Sendung und diverse Medien einen jedenfalls nicht unerheblichen Anteil daran haben, dass zahllose Menschen im Land ihr Weltbild auf Bullshit aufbauen konnten und entsprechend wählen:
This afternoon @robrombach @FrankRHutter and me had a chat on genAI and potential @UniFreiburg collaboration - by chance on the day after @bfl_ml launched. Cool to have the investors of stable diffusion around - acting global, with a local taproot.
It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽
