1ABIES DAYS 2021
The ABIES 2021 days were held by videoconference from May 6th to 7th. As a
reminder, the ABIES days are organised by doctoral students for doctoral students with the
objective of promoting the exchange of knowledge between doctoral students and also to
encourage scientific emulation within the doctoral student community. These days were
organised by a team of five doctoral students from different years: Yannick DONGMO
ZANGUE (2nd year), Emma DUTILLOY (1st year), Manon GUIVIER (1st year), Olivier
HULLOT (2nd year), Elie PERRAUD (1st year). They gathered about 80 PhD candidates
during the two days, coming from most of the ABIES research units.
Placed under the theme of "transitions", the ABIES days were an opportunity to
question the appropriation of this notion in life sciences. Professor Philippe LESCOAT's
introduction to the conference set the tone for the richness of the exchanges that followed
The exchanges were structured around four sub-themes, namely: support for transition
players, with Claire BILLY from the National Biodiversity Office as guest speaker; transition
tools, with Andreas RUDINGER, Associate Researcher at IDDRI and consultant in an energy
policy consultancy firm, as guest speaker; transition evaluation, with Antoine
CORNUEJOLS, Professor at AgroParisTech, as guest speaker; and finally the circular
economy, with Marion NOEL, Chemical and Materials Engineer at Carbiolice, as guest
speaker.
In concrete terms, each session was organised as follows: At the beginning of the
session, the guest shared his or her expertise on the theme (30 minutes presentation and 20
minutes of questions); then three doctoral students took turns presenting their work related to
the session (15 minutes presentation and 15 minutes of questions).
The oral presentations by the doctoral students were all of a very high standard, with
an obvious effort to make them understandable to non-specialists and very nice illustrations,
sometimes also animations.
In addition to the oral presentations, the participants of the ABIES days had the
possibility to view posters prepared by other PhD candidates to summarise their thesis
activity. With the format of the distance learning days, the posters were in a video format of
about 5 minutes.
Prizes were awarded for the posters and oral presentations:
- The best oral presentation, by Juan BUCETA, received a prize of €1,000 and the next 4
(Victor MOINARD, Juliette CHASSAIN, Tianzhu LIU, Siddharth SHARAN) of €500
- The two best posters (Maria-De-Lourdes TOVILLA-COUTINO and Hasna TOUKABRI)
received a prize of €500
The days were also punctuated by more playful moments with the organisation of
games between PhD candidates. Many doctoral students took part in the various games made
available to them. This animation session was a pleasant moment of relaxation and chat
between PhD candidates in a good atmosphere.

Justus Liebig University Giessen, Department of Plant Breeding (Prof. Rod Snowdon)
wishes to hire a postdoctoral scientist (crop genetics/bioinformatics) with relevant
expertise in analysis of genome sequence data in Brassica or other polyploid plants. In a
3-year project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the postdoc will
initially be responsible for generating and analysing a species-wide long-read genome
resequencing dataset (Nanopore WGS, 100 accessions) and developing a pangenomic
structural variant (SV) atlas for B. napus. The project will have close links and strong
synergy to highly complementary datasets on 3D genome structure and function which
are being generated in the new Sofia Kovalevskaya Research Group of Dr. Agnieszka
Golicz (independent group leader in the same department), along with other
complementary datasets for common analysis (mRNA and siRNA expression,
methylation, etc.). First authorship publication of high-impact publications associated
with these datasets is expected and encouraged. Presentations at major conferences
(PAG, International Rapeseed Congress Sydney 2023, international Brassica meetings)
and contact within the international Brassica research community will also be encouraged
and supported.
The postdoc will be hired for three years beginning as soon as possible, with payment
according to the German public sector salary scale, level E13.
If you are potentially interested please contact rod.snowdon@agrar.uni-giessen.de for
further information about the application process.
4Project summary:
SV-Atlas: Exploring the structural variant landscape in the highly dynamic genome of a
recent allopolyploid crop species
The recent allopolyploid crop species Brassica napus (oilseed rape, canola) has an
unusually dynamic genome. Using long-read sequencing, we recently discovered that up
to 10% of all genes in any given B. napus genotype are affected by functionally relevant,
genome-wide gene conversions and deletions with high relevance for crop evolution and
breeding (Chawla et al. 2020, Plant Biotech J, doi: 10.1111/pbi.13456bl). Because of
their predominant size range (100bp~5kb), the great majority of genome-wide structural
variants (SV) were undetectable by short-read sequencing in the highly-duplicated B.
napus genome, hence their mechanisms and evolutionary consequences have not yet been
studied. Based on robust methods developed in extensive preliminary work, we plan a
detailed survey of the SV landscape in the B. napus pangenome, using long-read
sequencing in 100 genetically diverse, homozygous accessions from a well-characterised
global species collection. Assembly of a B. napus “Pangemome SV Atlas” will provide a
valuable public tool to address the mechanisms of small-scale SV in polyploid genomes
and re-visit extensive short-read datasets from previous studies. By identifying sequence
motifs associated with genome-wide SV breakpoints and investigating SV patterns in the
context of 3D genome structure and chromatin interactions, we aim for novel biological
insight into the mechanisms underlying small-scale homoeologous exchanges, as a basis
for predictive models that help to potentially harness the power of SV in breeding. In a
practical case study, we will use the SV Atlas to associate SV in flowering pathway genes
to ecogeographical adaptation traits. This will give novel insight into the role of SV in
polyploid evolution and adaptation.
