What happens when a dinosaur meets a flower? 🌸🦖 To celebrate Engineer Week we teamed up with OpenFlower (@NickDesnoyer), a nonprofit creating designer flowers for art & education, to release three limited edition postcards inspired by his brilliant work! The twist? These flowers were powered by Whole Plasmid Sequencing from Plasmidsaurus. Fast sequencing → engineered flowers → limited-edition lab art. Want one? Just fill out the form and we’ll mail you a little science-meets-art surprise! Available 2/23–3/9, while supplies last. tinyurl.com/plasmidsaurusx…

Petunia hybrida has been bred into an incredible diversity of colors and patterns. Most arise from mutations in the anthocyanin pathway or post-transcriptional gene silencing that turns pigment genes on and off 🧬🎨

Take a look at our microbiome paper from @UNAMINB of the #slug #Deroceras_laeve: doi.org/10.1007/s00248… Building upon #SlugAtlas (slugatlas.lavis.unam.mx) and #SlugGenome (doi.org/10.1093/g3jour…), we are making this cool species amenable for research anywhere.

Creatures of the Cambrian Period! so many weird guys vibing 541-485 million years ago

This beautiful #MicroscopyMonday shows how maternal regulation governs early embryonic development by coordinating gene expression in both time and space to direct proper embryonic growth. 🔬 @gopalkushawah (@BazziniLab)

This is the best lab website I’ve ever seen. Other labs- take notes!

Absolutely magical sea anemone larva (about 7 mm) from The Lombok Strait, Indonesia 🇮🇩

🟣鮮やかな蛍光ブルーに縁取られている 巻貝の一種である『ベニシボリガイ』 ウミウシの仲間に近い種で、殻から大きく はみ出した半透明の『足』は非常に美しく、 その見た目の美しさから『生きた宝石』とも 称されている。 📸Melissa Staines, Australia #雑学 #セツナノマタタキ

Researchers at CNS, IISc, find that disruption of a single conserved synaptic gene in worms alters neuropeptide signalling, resulting in an unusual type of swarming. The study highlights how neuromodulatory pathways can influence social behaviour. 🔗: iisc.ac.in/events/worming…

Early voting & breakfast today in Houston.

@TakashiAkeraLab @Globallimitsrun Thanks!

@rrbehringer @Globallimitsrun Huge congrats, Richard!!🎉Irina told me about this and I was tracking your journey 🏃

I completed the 200 km, 6 day multistage ultra in São Tomé in Africa. The finish line was at the equator. 🌍 The country is very beautiful. ⁦@Globallimitsrun⁩

@FredAPereiraBCM @Globallimitsrun Thanks!

@rrbehringer @Globallimitsrun Wow! Congratulations👏👏👏

I made this green fluorescent flower with sequencing support from plasmidsaurus! 🦖🧬🌸✨ Limited edition postcards of the flowers below:
