Finally, big paper #1 from GrENE-net, the unique distributed Arabidopsis evolution experiment! What an achievement, particularly by Moi, Niek and Francois who conceived the project (in Tübingen), and by the incredibly smart Moi Lab data analysis team: Lucas, Tati, Meixi, Xing and Moi!
📢Acaba de publicarse en la revista Science (@science.org) el artículo "Rapid adaptation and extinction in synchronized outdoor evolution experiments of Arabidopsis" del que Carlos Lara (@carlos-lara0.bsky.social ), Alfredo García, Martí March y José María Iriondo (@txiriondo.bsky.social ),...

In a new article by Wu et al., a large team of collaborators led by the Moi lab addressed this question by doing a huge outdoor evolution experiment at 30 places with different climates.
Our team appeared in The Daily Californian news!
Discussing our experimental evolution in Science Magazine www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... and a recent paper on the threat of genetic diversity loss in PNAS doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Thank you @adrigov.bsky.social for the nice summary in Plantae.org of our paper!
Very nice feature Innovative Genomics Institute at Berkeley about our team!
Our goal is to learn about evolution to climate!
