🚨 New paper! 🚨 doi.org/10.1186/s12864… #conifer #genomics Copy number variations (CNV) occur more often than SNPs. In plants, we have seen ~200 copies of RLG1a in monkey flower and EPSPS in carelessweed. Our study found up to 381 copies of Bglu-1 in a white spruce tree!
NEW PREPRINT: "Conifers concentrate large numbers of NLR immune receptor genes on one chromosome". biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Comparative genomics work I did while @OxfordBiology @MacKay_Lab, as part of the #sitkaspruced project.
The pay is minimum of £15.24 per hour, according to experience.
We are recruiting! Join our lab at @OxfordBiology during the summer, loads of DNA to isolate from conifers and broadleaves 🌳🌲. Ask current members if you have any questions: @SkyAndEternity, @BarleyRose_, @LiamHMorton, @LGuillardin. Please, retweet!
📢 #EGG2023 open for abstracts and registration ‼️ 🗓️ 5-7 September @OxfordStats Since 1957, @BES_EGG has met annually to provide a platform for all working at the nexus of ecology, evolution, and population genetics 🗺️🧬 Talks and posters welcome! 🎙️ britishecologicalsociety.org/event/egg2023-…
Scotland really provided all the weather in the last two days. So thankful to @LGuillardin and @JohnMacKayOxfd who planted 870 Sitka spruce seedlings with me🌲. My muscles hurt but my heart is happy ❤️
Excited to be starting my 3-month internship at @Forest_Research running a #Sitka field trial in Galloway.
I had a great time with these amazing students @OxfordBiology and couldn’t help but wonder what they would learn and achieve in their years @magdalenoxford!

Apparently I passed the confirmation of PhD student status without reservations. The next milestone is the thesis submission... Busy year ahead, planned to finish all the experiments this term, wish me luck lol 🧬🌲#phdvoice
New paper out! 🚨 @JohnMacKayOxfd @SkyAndEternity We compared the transcriptomes of European and Japanese larches to infection by Phytophthora ramorum and found differences related to jasmonate signalling and resistance genes. 🌲doi.org/10.1186/s12870…
This is the first Climate Change Genomics workshop and we have an exciting programme not to miss! #ClimGen22

Loved the session on gender issues on forest entomology and pathology. 3 Great talks I wish there had been more time for discussion #ForestHealth2022 #WomenInSTEM
Getting ready for the @B4EST_EU conference! today I showed @MacKay_Lab what I'll present, can't wait to get to Lisbon :)
Proud to announce one of the milestone papers on #rosewood #conservation out @ELSenviron #BiologicalConservation by @APFORGEN @OxfordBiology @BiovIntCIAT_eng 🌳🌏

Labs that pot together will publish together, right? Thanks to everyone in the @MacKay_Lab who helped me put up my clonal cuttings yesterday 1200L of compost put to good use! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
I'm coming to #EAB2021! A big shoutout to the amazing staff @BritishEcolSoc @sfecologie making this possible in such challenging times. If you're interested in ecological #genomics and #conservation, please come to my talk. I can't wait to meet and chat with you all! 😊
@OxfordPlants @MacKay_Lab in action @BlenheimPalace as part of the Oxford-Blenheim Partnership! Who doesn’t love some oak trees in a UNESCO World Heritage Site? A big thanks to @LGuillardin @BarleyRose_ and foresters from Blenheim for today’s fieldwork! 🌳 #forestscience
We’re recruiting a PhD student to work on ecological genetics of CNV in spruce trees 🌲 @OxfordPlants @OxfordBiology! Project starts either in Oct or next Jan. The student will learn many lab and bioinformatics skills. Pls RT! bit.ly/3hx39Gx #PhDposition #forestscience
Very excited to be presenting at my first conference tomorrow @forestgen2021. I can't wait to hear about all the great work from other postgraduates and postdocs in #forestgenetics2021! including @MacKay_Lab's own @LGuillardin and @HayleyTumas
We @MacKay_Lab are a Forest Genomics Lab, so let's talk a bit about genomes! #IntlForestDay #InternationalDayofForests Do you know which species has a larger genome size?
