Look at this great postdoc opportunity! 😁 Come work with us on cannabis genetics and flowering time diversity in beautiful Vancouver (and help reduce cannabis' humongous carbon footprint, since you are at it). Also, new website! todescolab.msl.ubc.ca/
📢 We're hiring! The Todesco lab (@MarcoTodescoCnv) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in #cannabis #genetics research.

Article by @natmesanash in @TheScientistLLC, feat. @jmbrkphd and @mhkoski!🌻🌈 Last shameless plug for our @elife paper, I swear! Until the next one, at least
Sunflowers’ hidden colors do more than attract bees, researchers find. They also help the plants survive in arid environments. bit.ly/3GDfthQ

Really nice piece by @riskindan @CTVNews on our sunflower-UV-patterns @elife paper! He is much better than me at expaining this stuff 😅ctvnews.ca/climate-and-envir…

Now out in @eLife! UV patterns in wild sunflowers help them attract pollinators AND regulate water loss. And we know what the gene responsible for it all is!

Great to see our 12 cannabis assemblies (and the 500+ re-sequenced lines of the companion GWAS pop) coming together - exciting times for cannabis genomics! Fantastic work @MojtabaJahani6, @Nat_be, @hkchi12 et al. Next, time to get rid of powdery mildew 😁
We are excited to present our ongoing effort to generate a #cannabis #pangenome in #PAGXXIX. Check out the eposter:pag.confex.com/pag/xxix/meet…
We used a combination of @PacBio HiFi reads, Hi-C & genetic maps to produce two complete haplotypes for each genotype. See details in eposter

New preprint @biorxivpreprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We looked into the genetic and environmental factors underlying the incredible variation for floral colour patterns in wild sunflowers (see below)…ups, wait a second!... 1/12

If you are looking for a Sunday reading, @Nat_be and I wrote a behind-the-paper post for our recent haploblocks paper for the Nature Ecology and Evolution community blog natureecoevocommunity.nature… #behindthepaper (see also nature.com/articles/s41586-0…)
