Very excited to be part of the 2026 #PackardFellows from the Packard Foundation @packardfdn.bsky.social This will enable us to pursue bold studies of rapid evolution in plants, from the Arabidopsis plant to neotropical rainforests! www.packard.org/2026fellows ls.berkeley.edu/news/mois%C3...

New work to share! Pangenome studies treat gene presence/absence independently, but genes work together in pathways. By focusing on the covariance of gene loss, we show the Arabidopsis dispensable genome has modular co-evolutionary structure reflecting the biological organization of the plant 1/

New preprint with grad student @linhngk.bsky.social. Big mystery in plants is why do their telomere length vary? We answered by analyzing 10Tb or 1.4 billion reads from 257 species of algae to land plants. We propose ecological adaptation shapes telomere length in plants. shorturl.at/0ox4x
