Relaxing after a very intensive and awesome #ICPP2018

Cheers at #ICPP2018 with APS leadership ⁦⁦@mbjerkness⁩ ⁦

#ICPP2018 Martijn Rep: Fusarium oxyaporum effectors cluster corresponding with phylogeny with host in dispensable chromosomes. Not the case for core genome. Supports HGT

#ICPP2018 Mareike Moeller: accessory chromosomes in Zymoseptoria show enrichment for different methylation than core chromosomes. Chromosome loss is not random. And differs by temperature

#ICPP2018 Faculty position in mycology at @OregonState. This is a rare and amazing job opportunity

#ICPP2018 J Chang: showing two types of plasmids with evidence of HGT.

#ICPP2018 Jeff Chang shows evidence for horizontal gene transfer in Rhodococcus. Non pathogenic strains are beneficial increasing root hair length and lack virulence genes. With linear plasmid R becomes pathogen. @OregonState

#ICPP2018 congress fire alarm based evacuation. What next?

#ICPP2018 @adamhsparks talking about modeling disease risk given uncertainty

#ICPP2018. @edelponte talking about rainfall as a predictor of epidemic risk

#ICPP2018 @SydneyEverhart presenting @ZKamvar poster on reproducible research. Much needed.

#ICPP2018 David Cooke showing use of #poppr in #euroblight

#ICPP2018 apply for mycology position @OregonState

#ICPP2018 P Busby: primary fungal and bacterial symbionts reduce rust disease severity.

#ICPP2018 PosyBusby: bacterial symbionts of seed largely Bacillus spp.also little correspondence between plant and bacterial phylogenies

#ICPP2018 David Guest gives convincing background on constraints to cocoa farmers. No bank accounts, poor health, labor constraints, etc.

Pierre de Wit talking about effector mediated breeding after being awarded the 2018 Jacob Eriksson award at #icpp2018
