New preprint with the Shendure lab @jshendure.bsky.social ! We apply the DNA Typewriter lineage recorder to mouse 3D gastruloids, a powerful model of early mammalian development. Led by Sam Regalado and CX Qiu @cxqiu.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/13)
Lineage recording in monoclonal gastruloids reveals heritable modes of early development
Mammalian stem cells possess a remarkable capacity for self-organization, a property that underlies increasingly sophisticated in vitro models of early development. However, even under carefully contr...

Excited to share our first anti-aging intervention analysis, led by brilliant Zehao @tommyz626.bsky.social, Alex, and Chloe from our lab at @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social! We identified the aging-associated cell populations that can be rescued by caloric restriction in the mammalian brain!

Hero lawyers in state AG offices busted their asses over the weekend to get this done. Now do your part: call your Representative and Senators TODAY. Call your AG AND governor and voice your support for these lawsuits.

Now out in @science.org w/ @jshendure.bsky.social we present 'Genome-shuffle-seq': a method to shuffle mammalian genomes and characterize the impact of structural variants (SVs) with single-cell resolution in one experiment.

Multiplex generation and single-cell analysis of structural variants in mammalian genomes
Studying the functional consequences of structural variants (SVs) in mammalian genomes is challenging because (i) SVs arise much less commonly than single-nucleotide variants or small indels and (ii) ...

Joined @junyuecao.bsky.social's lab without knowing single-cell genomics - after 3 years of failing, crying, learning, and growing, I’m proud to share the PanSci! Huge thanks to amazing mentors Jun & Wei and support from @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social. The secrets of aging are starting to unfold!

A newly created atlas of 21 million cells from @junyuecao.bsky.social's lab led by @tommyz626.bsky.social could upend long-held assumptions about how we age and provide fresh directions for anti-aging therapies. #RockefellerScience

Excited to share our work @science.org. led by our incredible @tommyz626.bsky.social at @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social! By profiling 21 million single cells across life stages, we reveal aging as distinct, development-like transitions, with dramatic cell population changes in specific time windows!
A panoramic view of cell population dynamics in mammalian aging
To elucidate aging-associated cellular population dynamics, we present PanSci, a single-cell transcriptome atlas profiling over 20 million cells from 623 mouse tissues across different life stages, se...
