Last week, three of us were at the University of California, Berkeley for a workshop on floral transcriptomics run by Ana Almeida and Stefan Little. The workshop, funded by a France-Berkeley Fund grant, brought together members and complementary expertise from the Specht and the Sauquet Labs to learn more about transcriptome analysis. For this, we generated new floral organ-specific transcriptomes for a sample of species from Magnoliidae and Zingiberales, which we analyzed during the workshop. In addition, the first day was focused on presenting the eFLOWER project to the participants through hands-on data scoring of Magnoliidae and Zingiberales taxa in the PROTEUS database.
The workshop was a great success and we all learned a lot throughout the week. You may follow some of our activities on Twitter at #fbfmagzin.
