et al’s paper now published in @eLife “Opposite polarity programs regulate asymmetric subsidiary cell divisions in grasses” - we identified a novel, distal #polarity domain formed by the POLAR homolog in #Brachypodium. Together with a proximal polarity domain formed by PAN1, POLAR acts like a compass to define the orientation of the formative #CellDivision that makes stomatal helper cells in #grasses. https://elifesciences.org/articles/79913

Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of RNA sequencing, but what if you can't analyze the data? We (mostly Guy) created a software to make your life easy! Read our NEW preprint & REBLOG. Please try it (follow the detailed tutorial) and give us feedback! 🤟🙏

Here's Guy's thread with all the details:
