Congrats to Dr. Meng Yuan @imengyuan !! Outstanding defence of her PhD thesis today on investigating the genome-wide scope for conflict between the diploid and haploid stages of the plant life cycle. Great work!

New work led by @imengyuan shows evidence for much greater scope for conflict between the sexes within a tissue than between life stages (pollen and leaf) within a sex, given more genetic concordance of eQTL effects between the sexes
Check out our new preprint "Cis-regulation of gene expression between sexes and life stages in Rumex hastatulus" with @JohnStinchcombe @stepheniwright et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…View quoted post on X
Does intra-locus conflict between the life cycles lead to genome-wide signatures of selection? Find out in this study led by @imengyuan !!
