Our paper is now out in final form at Nature Genetics! For those who missed the preprint, we used large-scale Perturb-seq targeting transcription factors to push primary fibroblasts into diverse transcriptional states, including those observed in cell atlas studies.

I wrote a 'Behind the Paper' blog post for @the_Node narrating the origin story of our recent @NatureCellBio paper on recording signals during gastruloid symmetry breaking. have a read if you're curious!

Read below for the latest from Emily Ho in my lab on in vivo receptor tyrosine kinase biosensors. This has been a *dream* project, seeing endogenous RTK activity in live embryos for the first time. Surprise: they don't always match those of downstream signaling pathways!
Have you ever wanted to *see* receptor activity in embryos? If so, our new preprint is for you! In it, we showcase a new live-cell biosensor for visualizing receptor tyrosine kinase activity in living embryos – pYtags!

Our paper “Dynamics of morphogen source formation in a growing tissue”
with first authors R. Ho and K. Kishi is published in @PLOSCompBiol 🎉
We show that the floor plate of the vertebrate neural tube forms in two phases: rapid specification followed by growth.

What if you could find out the history of signaling activity in each cell with a single round of imaging? Wouldn't that be incredible? Well, we thought so too. And that's what we set out to achieve with INSCRIBE in our new preprint. Let’s dive in! 🚀🔬

Working on this paper with @h4rrymcnamara was just an absolute pleasure, one of the highlights of PI life so far.
Even better: he'll be starting his own laboratory in just a few months at Yale - so stay tuned for more exciting work from the McNamara group!
Our study decoding gastruloid symmetry breaking is now live @NatureCellBio!

Our latest: a new optogenetic system for precise spatiotemporal control of gene expression
We use it to dissect the dynamics of Shh gradient formation & patterning

hello world! new results (with @toettch): tinyurl.com/3595banh
Stem cells can self-organize morphogenesis in vitro w/o spatial patterning cues. But how? We programmed cells to record their signaling histories to map symmetry breaking during gastruloid morphogenesis (1/n)

🥳We have a new preprint out on the very difficult problem of understanding rates of evolution in systems with messy, complex spatial structure.

Beyond the limit of single mutational dynamics, how does the topology of a system shape its evolution?
