The @KenchanmaneLab had a fantastic time at #Botany2025 🌱 Cool talks, collaborator meetings, new ideas… all we need is more $💵 So we headed straight to the funding gods (a.k.a. the casino) — because if we can't win over reviewers at NSF, NIH, maybe we can win over roulette🎲

Glad to share that our gene duplication paper is now online @PlantPhys tinyurl.com/dup-met We show that genic DNA methylation marks different evolutionary trajectories and fates between paralogs and plays a role in maintaining dosage following duplication. 1/6🧵

My 1st #preprint @ NiederhuthLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We used available methylomes of 43 #angiosperms to understand the role of #DNAmethylation in the evolutionary fate of #duplicategenes (WGD & single-gene duplications) 🙏share widely & DM feedback (positive & critical) 1/6
