Our new study, led in collaboration with Helmholtz Munich as part of a global collaboration, was published yesterday.

It generated the first wheat pan-transcriptome – a comprehensive map of gene activity across multiple wheat varieties. rdcu.be/eJOPs

We developed machine learning models to infer circadian phase from single plant samples, using it to explore variation in circadian timing. Great collab with @c-reynoldsuk.bsky.social @ajwhall.bsky.social @hannahcr6.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chronobiology

It's great to see you PHD takeoff and what a way to fly, read @c-reynoldsuk.bsky.social first paper from his PHD www.nature.com/articles/s41... It is also a nice collaboration with Ant Dodd at the JIC @antdodd.bsky.social @nrpdtp.bsky.social @earlhaminst.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Excited to visit my daughter graduate show at Glasgow school of Art www.instagram.com/mayahalldebu...

Managed to get some of my lab out of the office to visit #cereals this year @earlhaminst.bsky.social

Please pass this on to any undergraduates or postgraduates who might be interested. The closing date is 14th May.

I have a PhD project funded by the John Innes Foundation, "Uncovering Genetic Drivers of Gene Expression in Elite Wheat Varieties", from the 1st of October 2025. #wheat #bioinformatics Apply now www.earlham.ac.uk/studentship/...

I have resigned my Fellowship of the #RoyalSociety due to their Council's inability to act proportionately on #ElonMusk.

New preprint describing ChronoGauge - our ensemble model for estimating circadian time of single time-pointed transcriptomic data in plants 🧪🧬🖥️

ML approach to predicting circadian time reveals insights into the genetics and interaction of the clock with the environment. #circadian @antdodd.bsky.social Well done Connor www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Couldn’t make IWC but great talk from Thomas on our collaboration read the preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #wheat #bioinformatics @earlhaminst.bsky.social

Interesting new insights into bolting using single-plant omics. An important developmental transition in many crops 🧪 🧬🖥️

My PhD is focused on trait discovery in herb crops of the Apiaceae family. Together with Elsoms Seeds, we are exploring how low-cost genomics can accelerate breeding of these previously under-resourced crops. ^Charles

Well done, Connor, on submitting your first paper as the first author: "Machine learning models reveal environmental and genetic factors associated with the plant circadian clock." And a nice collaboration with @antdodd.bsky.social #circadian #plants Should be on bioarchive in the next few weeks.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #9,799,100!

Hello! I'm Charles, a PhD student in the A. Hall lab @earlhaminst.bsky.social . I'm taking over the lab account this week. Follow along for an intro to what I do in the field of crop genomics! 🧪 #PlantScience

Visiting Stonehenge, dogs keep woofing at American thing they have been listening to trump.

Screening of a landrace wheat collection identifies beneficial novel haplotypes that improve modern wheat without negative linkage drag or pleiotropy.

Hi The lab has moved too, still at the @earlhaminst.bsky.social but now on Bluesky @ahalllab.bsky.social
