IN CASE YOU MISSED IT 🔬 A new paper on AI and microscopy that grew from discussions between MBL Whitman Fellows was covered by @HHMINEWS. Read more: bit.ly/4aBOhAv

Our new paper is finally out, showing that the same enhancer sequences - and likely the same transcription factors recruited to them - affect the activity of distal enhancers and their looping over to target gene promoters. nature.com/articles/s4146…

What is the function of the elongate tail in elasmobranch #rays? A new hypothesis with @YuliaChaumel in @royalsociety Proceedings B (shorturl.at/PmfYD) shows that the tail of cownose rays (and a few other species studied so far) has an elaborate lateral line.

🚨 New(ish 😅) publication alert! 🚨 Out now in the latest issue of the Journal of Anatomy, we described an almost completely overlooked ligament in the Zebrafish Weberian apparatus, and its potential impact on sound transmission 🐟🔊: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo… Let’s dive in! 🧵 1/

How to test the functional impact of noncoding variants in vivo? Happy to share our work led by @ewholling where we developed dual-enSERT, a new method that enables rapid, quantitative comparison of human enhancer variant activities in live mice. Check this Tweetorial for details

In this review, @gracecbower & I discuss recent evidence showing that, unlike canonical enhancers, long-range enhancers located hundreds of kb from their target genes rely on additional mechanisms to ensure robust gene activation during mammal development sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Even deceptively simple-looking animals can help unlock the secrets of life. At the MBL we study creatures that hold the keys to understanding fundamental questions in science—questions about ourselves, our origins, and our environment. mbl.edu/research/resea…

SARGASSO: an EELectrifying Sabrina CARPenter parody, dedicated to the strange and still-mysterious life-cycle of European and American Eels hope @SabrinaAnnLynn likes it

Researchers have reconstructed the complete wiring diagram, or connectome, of the fruit fly’s adult brain—a feat akin to mapping all the buildings, avenues, and streets in a complex city. bit.ly/4hc6BmO @NewsfromScience

📡🧵 Excited to release two #bioRxiv preprints! The first preprint is: "Zebrahub-Multiome: Uncovering Gene Regulatory Network Dynamics During Zebrafish Embryogenesis" doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… We present a comprehensive time-resolved single-cell multiomic atlas of zebrafish development. Integrating scATAC-seq and scRNA-seq from 94,000+ cells, we map gene regulatory networks across six key stages of embryogenesis (10 to 24 hpf). A major accomplishment by @yangjoonkim co-led by @Merlin_Lange with experiments by @Shruthi94Vijay #Zebrahub-Multiome is a sequel to zebrahub.org, our transcriptomic and imaging atlas of zebrafish development. #zebrafish #development #ATACseq #cell #biology #sequencing @czbiohub #CZBiohubSF @cziscience Note: We sent two preprints simultaneously yesterday, and this is the first one to come out... I will append to this thread when the second one is out...

Excited to announce that our 2025 Advanced Research Training Course schedule is up and applications are open! 🎉🎉🎉 See you in Woods Hole! mbl.edu/courses
