Dear maize geneticists, we are compiling missense mutations linked to visible phenotypes in maize. If you know of studies with such data, pls let us know through Twitter or email @liu3zhen@ksu.edu. Thank you! @MaizeGDB
Hello world! I have a postdoc position immediately available in my lab. It will focus on identifying high-quality transposons in many genomes and finding their impacts in evolution and traits. Most works, including EDTA2 development and annotation of 400+ genomes, are done! 1/n
