Thrilled to share my main postdoc work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social

We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions

Hierarchical lineage architecture of human and avian spinal cord revealed by single-cell genomic barcoding
The formation of neural circuits depends on the precise spatial and temporal organisation of neuronal populations during development. In the vertebrate spinal cord, progenitors are patterned into mole...

Complexity is a consequence of the fact that it’s easier to add than to subtract.

Take evolution of lungs from swim bladders as an example. A lungfish gradually emerges arising from its competitive advantages in living in and out of water.

No creature with lungs has reversed the process.
