We have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We're asking our colleagues from labs in the US other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.
⁦The cancellation of Harvard grants has put @FlyBaseDotOrg⁩ on life support. The Flybase grant is at Harvard and everything else is a subcontract. This community resource is absolutely essential! philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-…

Our first post in 4-years! Very excited to share our work just published in @ScienceMagazine. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” – in angiogenesis and other tissues! science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…

Recent work led by @XimenaSoto40 in collaboration with @PapalopuluLab shows how cell-to-cell communication plays a key role in compensating when the dynamics of transcription factor Her6 is altered. An exciting example of team cooperation @Dev_journal! journals.biologists.com/dev/…
