Whole‐Gut Spatial Genomic Analysis Reveals Molecular Regionalization of the Differentiating Zebrafish Enteric Nervous System
Spatial genomic analysis of the developing enteric nervous system in zebrafish through multiplex whole mount HCR in slide identified genes that have temporal and spatial expression patterns during de...

Check out our new work led by @rodrigomorec.bsky.social published today! We show that sequential, multiplexed HCR in whole-mount larval zebrafish revealed 3D spatial gene expression groups at the cellular and gut-levels in the enteric nervous system!

🧪IMPORTANT! This graphic explains how science all over the US is funded. Congress approved a 2% increase in the #NIH budget for FY 26.
Buried in the bill-
Shift of ~40% of grants to MYF. This will still result in a 35% DECREASE in the NUMBER of grants funded per yr.
Russel Vought is behind this.

We built a single-cell atlas of 14 multilayered epithelia and revealed a conserved transcriptomic program guiding tissue architecture and fate composition. Our work brings decades of tissue-specific studies together into a unified evo-devo framework.
