Ok, after a couple of days getting used to this, here is my #introduction
I'm a computational biologist and group leader in Newcastle University (UK) working on the genetics of human age related diseases and the regulation of molecular phenotypes with ageing.

The oat genome is highly rearranged, and the linking of these genomes provides an excellent resource for anyone working on oats.
A companion paper (doi:10.1038/s42003-022-03256-5) by Nick Tinker et al. - in which I've also been involved - uses the new reference to develop #markers and #QTLs for traits affecting seed quality and agronomic performance.
