So excited and grateful to receive R24 NOA from NIH ORIP to create an integrated #zebrafish omics, histology and microCT 3D atlas!

Looking forward to an exciting work with Dr. Postlethwait of U of Oregon, who is the co-PI of the grant.

Wrote a big review with my friend and colleague @varshneylab.social on the state-of-the-art in CRISPR used experimentally in vivo. We wanted to focus on their use in experimental vertebrate animals (apparently passé now but we persist).

Recent advances in DNA sequencing have allowed scientists to gather vast amounts of genetic data, but understanding what those sequences actually do requires additional tools that allow scientists to ...

Welsh climate impact story: my mum's local Co-op store in Cardiff has been unable to stock perishable food and dairy for over a week because its chill cabinets are powered by a gas generator. The gas tanks that power the generator are overheating thanks to a heatwave affecting the UK.

I am excited to share our latest work on the #Daphnia atlas (daphnia.io). We curated an open-access atlas for the daphnia community.

This is the first daphnia microanatomical atlas to include male and female daphnia

We are trialing a central hub for questions/queries for the #zebrafish community as they tend to get lost in our feed. (Really wanted to try this on Twitter) These will be reposted by us. Check there if you want to help. Amplifications appreciated 🙏
Query from Slack: Does anyone know a reliable script/method to match piRNAs with TEs? (e.g. They would be interested to find piRNAs that target a particular TE) #AskZebrafish
