It's a great pleasure that our study about the regulatory role of the Shox2 gene desert – a non-coding genomic region with multiple critical functions in embryogenesis - is finally out! #unibern #UCalgary #BerkeleyLab

Moving the lab to Paris in 2024, the following frozen (sperms) lines will soon be thrown away. Black, blue and red are different #InHoxWeTrust alleles. Anyone interested can contact [email protected] #NoFlowersByRequest 🙏RT

Do you teach DevBio labs? Learn high-impact cost-effective techniques for urchins, chick, fish, flies, ciliates, worms & more!
Bonus: lupine-filled hiking in the Maine woods, kayaking on the Damariscotta River, eating delicious lobster.

Do you think limbs are some of the coolest things on earth? Do you want to hear about how they are made, how they regenerate, and how there are soooo many different kinds? Or maybe you’ve discovered some of the secrets and want to share?

So happy to see my first PhD paper from the @Duboule lab @unige_en @EPFL in @biorxivpreprint. An #evoDevo analysis of a regulatory landscape at the HoxD locus 🐭🐥. @genevunige @the_Node @3D_Genome . #InHoxWeTrust! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Deletion of CTCF motifs can lead to a Mendelian disease, acheiropodia (limb truncation). A project we started 10 years ago and spearheaded by the outstanding @AkiUshiki along with numerous other amazing collaborators too long to list here. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Our paper on four-horned sheep and goats has appeared in Molecular Biology and Evolution @OfficialSMBE
academic.oup.com/mbe/advance… Super multicentric, and for my part first, collaboration with #AllaisBonnet and @AurelienCapitan.

Can a fin (still) become a limb?
To find out, @fishyskeleton, @khenke2012, and I performed genetic studies in the zebrafish & found the remarkable hidden ability of fins to become more limb-like. Look below for a quick summary of our findings!

I've been through the desert
on a horse with no name,
so where are the enhancers
in this chromatin domain?
