Ever wondered how sperm are formed? Spermatogenesis is a microscopic marathon that starts in the testes and ends with fully functional sperm! Our new preprint bitly.cx/jC4Qg takes a deep dive into zebrafish spermatogenesis, mapping out every fascinating step. 🧵👇 1/7
A single-cell multiomics roadmap of zebrafish spermatogenesis reveals regulatory principles of male germline formation
Spermatogenesis is the biological process by which male sperm cells (spermatozoa) are produced in the testes. Beyond facilitating the transmission of genetic information, spermatogenesis also provides...

New paper out! 📄
My first adventures in (ancient) metagenomics. 🦠

“Exploring DNA degradation in situ and in museum storage through genomics and metagenomics” www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Curious about the water color painting (see ALT text)? 🦌

Thread (Bluetorial?) with findings!

Caption by professor B Gronnow. Water color by Nuka Konrad Godtfredsen (2021). Copyright: The National Museum of Denmark. "Hunting a herd of swimming caribou from kayak at the site, Aasivissuit, in the early 18th century West Greenland as interpreted by the Greenlandic artist, Nuka Godtfredsen. Through communal drive hunts the Inuit secured large amounts of caribou meat and fat for consumption as well as hide and antler for raw materials and trade. Large heaps of bones from the butchering of the animals piled up as waste in the midden area of the settlement, Three centuries later archaeologists excavated the bones, which were analyzed, including studies of preservation conditions of ancient DNA contained in the bones and soil."

Deep conservation of cis-regulatory elements and chromatin organization in echinoderms uncover ancestral regulatory features of animal genomes
Despite the growing abundance of sequenced animal genomes, we only have detailed knowledge of regulatory organization for a handful of lineages, particularly flies and vertebrates. These two groups of...

SOX and POU are crucial Transcription Factors in animal development, believed to be innovations of this group. Here we find them in unicellular relatives of animals. And hold tight, you can use a choanoflagellate 🦠 SOX gene to make a full chimeric 🐁 ! Read more here 🧵: rdcu.be/d0dPN 1/6
