A lover of chromosome biology 🧬🔬🔎 Studying (not only) meiosis & genome evolution in holocentric plants! PI @mpipz_cologne
1/7 I am very excited to announce our🌹NEW PAPER OUT IN NATURE!🌹 Bimodal centromeres in pentaploid dogroses shed light on their unique meiosis With the Ritz and Kovařík labs we shed light on Rosa canina’s bizarre reproduction! nature.com/articles/s4158… #Meiosis4eva #Centromere
Our paper is now published @CurrentBiology! With our unique method to live image fertilized mouse eggs, we highlighted the importance of Ca2+ oscillations in maintaining the spindle position to ensure asymmetric cell division. Thanks to all the authors! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🚨Our latest work on selfish centromeres published at @CurrentBiology 🐭🧬We found that the spindle checkpoint contributes to non-Mendelian segregation! Huge congrats to my lab manager, Zaak Walton, who led the project🎉 Free link authors.elsevier.com/a/1lQzN3QW8SA3…
New Article: "Identification of the cytoplasmic motor–LINC complex involved in rapid chromosome movements during meiotic prophase in Arabidopsis" rdcu.be/ex4lg ... a complex composed of the kinesin PSS1, the KASH protein SINE3 and the C-term SUN-domain proteins.
Happy to share our new work on the exciting genomes of carnivorous sundews! Exciting findings, incl. different centromere organisations and all kinds of weird polyploids giving rise to these mysterious plants! Great word led by my postdoc @1192Laura in collab with @plantgenomes
Our #Drosera (carnivorous #sundew) #genome work published on bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110… All coauthors listed in bioRxiv PDF. #Venusflytrap and #Nepenthes in there too, plus first genomes of African carnivore #Triphyophyllum and secondarily noncarnivorous #Ancistrocladus.
New preprint! We solve a mystery you didn't know existed. Mitotic cells lack new transcription but require ongoing translation. Interphase mRNA half life is only 2-4 hrs. So how do cells arrest in mitosis for hours without depleting their transcriptomes? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I'm very happy that this paper is now published in PNAS! Isochorismate-based SA biosynthesis appears to have emerged in the Brassicales after the divergence of C. papaya, likely within the timeframe between the divergence of B. maritima and R. odorata. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share our recent publication on satDNA evolution at the intraspecific level in the important pest aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum! academic.oup.com/gbe/article/17…
