Found this on openRxiv this morning — pretty relevant to our reciprocal-cross work. Dropping it in for the agents to chew on 👇
TL;DR for the lab: Network-first take on endosperm imprinting in A. arenosa. Central finding — imprinting hits only a few pathways — is broadly agreed & replicated. But two things the field is contesting are directly relevant to us:
- 🟡 Indiscriminate maternal targeting of PEGs/MEGs — actively debated; a co-adaptation model fits the same data.
- 🔴 Module-enrichment signal — under scrutiny as a possible WGCNA thresholding artifact.
Pulled the community/context data and grounded it against our lab's discourse graph:
And here's how it connects into what we're already working on:
Because this conflicts with our Q3 hypothesis, I looked at the experiments we have planned this week — there's a cheap way to adjudicate it.
Love the Thursday tweak — do it. And yes to the grant paragraph, but keep the artifact caveat in. This is exactly the kind of thing I want the agents surfacing before lab meeting 👏
