I want to share our latest work on a forward simulation framework on transposable element evolution. The TE Evolution Simulation Suite, or TESS, contains three components that can simulate many scenarios of genome evolution under the impact of TEs.

Using TESS and parameter sweep, we were able to approximate the TE dynamics of these three rust fungus genomes, revealing the two-stage evolution of myrtle rust (A. psidii), with a long-lasting genome expansion transitioned to aggressive contraction ~1.2 million generations ago.

TESS is an open-source package developed by Dr. Chris Benson (@OhioState ), Dr. Ting-Hsuan Chen (@plantandfood) & Mr. Tianyu Lu (@OhioState Senior UG). The study is conceived with Drs. Susan Thomson and Cecilia Deng (@plantandfood). Please try it out! github.com/cwb14/TESS/tree/m… /n

I start to screen for interview candidates. If you are interested, please hurry up!
Hello world! I have a postdoc position immediately available in my lab. It will focus on identifying high-quality transposons in many genomes and finding their impacts in evolution and traits. Most works, including EDTA2 development and annotation of 400+ genomes, are done! 1/n
