Don't miss Sofía Manzo explaining her PhD project at ProgRET. About short living killifish and retinal disease.
I'm excited to share our PNAS paper from 1st author Kasia Hussey. We study how the foveola, the high acuity region of the retina, is patterned by RA and TH. We were surprised to find that cone subtypes appear to convert fates. Our studies are important for AMD sufferers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Wrote a big review with my friend and colleague @varshneylab.social on the state-of-the-art in CRISPR used experimentally in vivo. We wanted to focus on their use in experimental vertebrate animals (apparently passé now but we persist).
Excited to be offering a new Macular Society funded UK PhD studentship at @ucleye.bsky.social with Giulia De Rossi. The project will investigate a new therapeutic target for fibrosis in age-related macular degeneration. Deadline for applications is 14th July. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
I'm very lucky to work with these great young scientists!
GRCz12tu is available on Genbank. This will be one of two genomes that will be considered "reference" genomes, there will also be a GRCz12ab assembly coming. It has entered the NCBI annotation pipeline and will also go into the Ensembl annotation pipeline.

Great story for a very cool mutant! And yes, the cliffhanger took a long time to solve. I was always hoping you would sort this one out one day. Congrats!
We're growing and recruiting! Please share this open position in our lab at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) (www.torninilab.org) for a Staff Research Associate I (SRA I) position - jobs.ucla.edu/jobs/6546
40 years of the homeobox A large family of developmental genes share a 180 bp DNA sequence, called the homeobox, which encodes a DNA-binding domain. This year, 2024, marks the 40th year since the discovery of the homeobox in 1984, a landmark that fundamentally impacted several fields including genetics, developmental biology, neuroscience and evolution. To celebrate this anniversary, Development has commissioned a series of articles from leaders in the field demonstrating the impact of the homeobox discovery on different disciplines. These review-type articles will be published throughout 2024, starting with an introductory Editorial and collated here. We hope you find these articles interesting and we welcome your future submissions detailing how this remarkable family functions in development, stem cells and regeneration.
This Primer completes the "40 years of the homeobox" subject collection. You can check out the full collection of review-type articles published throughout 2024:

The World Science Forum just started in Budapest and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences asked me to conduct interviews with some of the leading participants.
Hi Stephen! can you please add me? Thanks!!
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!
