We are very excited to share our Arabidopsis root scRNA-seq atlas, out today in @Dev_Cell ! We’ve added updates since the pre-print, particularly new work with @geoffschieb and his group. (1/2)

I’m happy to share our latest work, out now in Current Opinion in Plant Biology. @TNPlantBio and I review single cell genomics applications to plant development. We discuss current challenges and our ideas for the future.

How do hormone-mediated signaling networks vary in space and time? In our latest out in @ScienceMagazine we use time series scRNA-seq to profile brassinosteroid responses across the cell types and developmental stages of the Arabidopsis root.

My lab will use single-cell omics, live imaging, and molecular genetics approaches to study how distinct cell types and cell states contribute to organ form and function. We will take advantage of the developmental plasticity of plants, which continuously produce new organs (2/4)
