15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life.

It is currently unknown to what degree parents’ life history can affect the next generation and how such information might be transmitted. A new study…

For new skywalkers…
Hi all, just to say thanks for all the enthusiasm about the #epigenetics, Chromatin and Gene Regulation starter pack. The interface is a bit unreliable so a few people I added got missed off 😬. If you notice this applies to you, just message me and I'll try again. go.bsky.app/TKp9YAn

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.

I can’t even decide between which one is my most favourite!

A thread to follow…
(1st post @BlueSky) Preprint alert🚨a long thread. Cautions in the use of @nanopore sequencing to map DNA modifications: officially reported “accuracy” ≠ reliable mapping in real applications. We performed a critical assessment of nanopore sequencing (across different versions of models) for the 1/n

My turn to create a starter pack for scientists using live imaging in their research! Of course, I’ve likely missed many—please let me know who else I should include. Thanks!
