Happy International Women's Day 🫶
Today 100 women from across the MRC WIMM came together to mark the day and celebrate all the wonderful women who work and study at the institute
💜👩🔬👩🍳👩💻👩💼💜

Gaia Gestri, Anya Suppermpool @suppAnya and Kate Turner wrote a great piece on the UCL fish groups efforts in making our research a little bit more sustainable: Earning your Green stripes: enhancing sustainability in zebrafish research thenode.biologists.com/earni… via @the_Node
Exciting opportunity #ZebrafishJobs
We're recruiting: 5-year postdoctoral scientist to lead work understanding how the human #heart develops. If you are into #multi-omics technology, #devbio, organoids, #zebrafish, come join us! @BBSRC sLoLa multi-PI team w @SanjaySinhaUK, @RichTyser, @teichlab & @GroupRiley (1/2)

**We are moving platforms**
Bioconductor will cease posting on Twitter/X as of December 17, 2023. Instead we will be continuing to post on other social media platforms that better reflect our community’s code of conduct. Read more in our blog post: buff.ly/3RddEAV

If you're interested, our Zebrafish Plasmid Collection is a great place to start!

A few years ago, we @TSS_Lab wondered if Ac/Ds transposition could be harnessed to perform transient, F0 experiments in #zebrafish. We ended up with a toolkit to express enhancers, and sgRNAs for CRISPR...pleased that this story has now found a home with @BiologyOpen #OpenAccess
It’s #MethodMonday - this week we are showcasing the work of @van_cmorr and colleagues as they repurpose the Ac/Ds maize transposition system.🧪🔬🔓 Read the full #OpenAccess article here: journals.biologists.com/bio/…

The comprehensive atlas of developmental regulatory elements in zebrafish is published today in @NatureGenet nature.com/articles/s41588-0…. In addition to the BioRxiv submission xitter.cf/daniocode/status/14253… in this paper we added further resources and results. (1/n)
ALT black and white line genome browser track lines forming different developmental stages of zebrafish in the style of the album cover unknown pleasure by joy division.
ALT List of research highlights: Highlights • 1,802 samples, 38 stages, 38 labs, 19 assay types • precise TSS, alternative promoters, promoter architecture classes • developmental TF activity-qualified TFBS prediction • >140,000 cis-regulatory elements, single-cell based cell-type specificity • new visualisation of epigenetic profiles, new functional subclasses • H3K27ac-rich ensembles support early expression of developmental factors and long-range regulation • vertebrate epigenomic landscape conservation by anchored projection tool • vertebrate regulatory element equivalence without sequence conservation
DANIO-CODE is proud to share our findings and a huge multi-genomics resource on the regulatory elements in the development of #zebrafish. We analyzed 1,802 previously (un)published sequencing data sets across 38 developing stages and 21 assay types. (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

OH AGAIN SINGLE CELL RNASEQ "DISCOVER" EMBRYONIC CELL PROGENITOR BECOME EMBRYONIC CELL! MESODERM MAKE MESODERMAL DERIVATIVES! KNOWN TF ARE "PREDICTED"! EPIGENETIC HULK SO SO TIRED OF THIS! nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

New guidelines!: "When submitting a molecular biology manuscript, and when the paper is finally accepted, the authors must measure their epigenetic clock so that the reviewers can estimate by how much their lifespan has been shortened and whether they already suffered enough"
It's official - a new era for @TSS_Lab! 🔥
We are pleased to announce that Tatjana Sauka-Spengler, PhD, @saukaspengler will join the Stowers Institute as an investigator in early 2022. Tatjana is a renowned developmental biologist who has led a lab @UniofOxford for the last ten years.

So pleased we published Pycro-Manager, a match made in heaven between Python and µManager. A big step forward for open-source microscopy control software!!
Out today! Pycro-Manager: open-source software for customized and reproducible microscope control.

To celebrate #WomenInScienceDay2021, I offer the story of Julia Barlow Platt. Enters grad school at Harvard in 1800s to find women can’t get PhDs. Leaves to get one in in Germany. Returns to @MBLScience to work on developmental biology. But...
