If you love Daniocell, but wish it could generate analyses specific to YOUR genes & cell types of interest, check out DaniocellDesktop - a new point-and-click app for Mac and Windows that enables reanalysis of the Daniocell data without programming: daniocell.nichd.nih.gov/desktop/ (1/4)

To dissect the gene regulatory networks used to build organisms, we need Perturb-seq-like tools that work in whole animals. For this purpose, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, a tool that couples high-throughput CRISPR in zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNAseq. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Leading Edge Fellows! 40 outstanding postdoctoral fellows doing pioneering research in a wide range of biological and biomedical disciplines. Learn more about these exceptional scientists: www.leadingedgesymposium.org/fellows

Happy new year everyone! 🎉🎇 Join us for the first seminar (Western 🌙 session) of the year with Shinuo Weng @shinuoweng.bsky.social (🐸 convergent extension) and Aryeh Warmflash (human gastrulation model) ⏰ Thursday, January 9th at 09:30 PDT / 12:30 EDT / 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET 🗓️

Happy holidays! 🎉 We hope you’re enjoying the season and looking forward to 2025. The VGZT seminars return this winter with an exciting speaker lineup. Stay tuned for two session formats: Eastern 🌞 and Western 🌙—tailored for global time zones. [1/4]

If you want to make it easy for editors to find reviewers for your manuscript, pre-print it so that prospective reviewers can quickly scan through it to make sure it's within their expertise and not going to be a slog. I am 5x more likely to accept if I can spend 5 minutes looking at the figs.

Probing the Bluesky mind for excellent speakers at the leading edge of using new technologies for therapeutic development (CRISPR, protein degradation, AAV development, lipid particle delivery, etc.) Bonus points for people not typically represented in STEM.#devbio #raredisease #womeninSTEM #Science

Join us tomorrow, Dec 5, for this exciting seminar!

This is a fantastic program and I highly recommend anyone going on the faculty job market to apply! As part of the first cohort I’m happy to chat about the program. Feel free to DM me if you want to learn more.

Out now in Dev Cell! scRNAseq trajectories describe the cascade of gene expression as cells differentiate, but turning them into a clear understanding of the underlying biology of a cell type's development remains challenging. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k9qj5Sx5g... (1/)

Just swam over to Bluesky and decided to dip my fin in the water. I am a Postdoc in the Weinstein lab and currently on the faculty job market. I developed an injury system to study cutaneous wound healing in adult zebrafish. Check out my movie showing neutrophil recruitment after injury.

Our next seminar is coming up tomorrow (Thursday)!

We are back on Thursday with two fascinating talks on morphogenesis and pattern formation! 🥳 Nandan Nerurkar and Anais Bailles will share their latest insights. Mark your calendar so you don't miss it! 🗓️ Nov 21, 12:30 EST / 18:30 CET / 17:30 UTC 🕢
