Our new paper compares meiosis in natural and neo allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica. Homoeologous crossovers are 20-fold more frequent in first generation polyploids and show a strong bias toward chromosome ends. #meiosis #polyploid @CNibau @ibers_aber

First-generation polyploids often suffer from more meiotic errors and lower fertility than established wild polyploid populations. One such example is the allopolyploid model species Arabidopsis s...

Love this….
The first talk in the Keynote Session for the Cell Contact and Adhesion @GordonConf is by Martin Schwartz. While i'll respect GRC rules and note share any of his cool new data, I will remind folks that he is MOST famous for teaching us about stupidity

Stumped @MerlinBirdID today. I think it’s a crow? Do they practice scales elsewhere in the world? Or is this just an #Aberystwyth thing? @Natures_Voice? @corvidresearch? Anyone? Perhaps they’ve been listening to Welsh choir warmups? 🎶🏴🤷♂️#WhatBird #BirdID #CrowSingsScales
