The Possible vs. The Actual: can #GenerativeBiology reveal fundamental design principles of complex life?
@philipcball.bsky.social closes #GenBio25 with a magnificent synthesis of the past two days of discussions, and guides us towards an agenda for the future of the field.

Excited to share our latest work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social .
A global #cis-regulatory temporal program guides how spatial cues are interpreted in neural progenitors. We show how #space and #time can be integrated to generate cell type diversity in the #spinalcord.
Congrats to all authors.

A study from @crick.ac.uk and @ucllifesciences.bsky.social reveals how timing mechanisms, not just spatial cues, shape cell identity during spinal cord development. The findings open up new avenues for both basic developmental biology and clinical applications.
