Variants in NR6A1 cause a novel oculo vertebral renal syndrome - Nature Communications
Colobomatous microphthalmia often lacks a genetic diagnosis despite its developmental complexity. Here, the authors show that rare variants in NR6A1 cause a syndromic form with eye, kidney, and verteb...

Some #zebrafish news. After consulting with the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) we will annotate one of our Tübingen T2T assemblies as a reference genome. This is an excellent assembly that we can get into the hands of the zebrafish research community right now. We are continuing our efforts

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D
Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added!
