In a nice paper, Mercier and Schneeberger add 69 almost complete A. thaliana genomes to our collection of 66 T2T genomes published last year in collaboration with Henderson/Bouisos labs & other colleagues (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06062-z). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-024-01715-9

Such glorification of dictatorial behavior in the lab, with the insinuation that this is what it takes to get a Nobel Prize, seems a bit out of tune with the times. (In full disclosure, as a colleague at the Salk, I found Roger Guillemin always affable and courteous.)https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp0647

How cool is that -- would not have guessed that the type of genetic incompatibility, hybrid necrosis, that we've studied for many years, is also the cause for graft incompatibility. I wonder whether it's a story of mismatched helper NLRs... @kamounlab.bsky.social[contains quote post or other embedded content]
