Our paper on volatile biosynthesis in cat thyme has been published in @ThePlantJournal. The @LichmanLab had an amazing collab with @TheBuellLab. @sefayten assembled a chromosome-scale genome that allowed us to discover how cat thyme makes diverse iridoids.

Cat thyme (Teucrium marum) produces the iridoid dolichodial which can repel certain insects and attract cats; the compound is also produced by some insect species. We generated a de novo chromosome...
