New preprint from the lab!
How do brain progenitors choose between D1 and D2 medium spiny neurons? We find the *relative levels* of SP9 and DLX TFs tip the balance: SP9 activates D2 genes at promoters, and represses D1 enhancers via DLX/NuRD.
Proud of the team — combining sparse in vivo CRISPR, lineage barcoding, scRNA-seq, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN and proteomics for mechanistic depth in in vivo functional genomics.

The ABC of my fave things in this paper:
* ABOLISHING both silencing AND leakiness of SynNotch (check out the DTA-based demo of this 😍) while preserving high efficiency, in pluripotent & differentiating cells
* BOOSTING signal during #PUFFFIN neighbour-labelling
* CITING Robbie Burns (1786) 🏴

“Non-coding RNAs turn out to regulate everything from embryonic development to immune responses to brain function. They help determine which genes get turned on and off, and when. They can promote cancer or suppress it.”

Favourite talk so far at BSDB2026 was from Cliff Tabin, entitled 'Quack science':
Proper hardcore dev-bio airway-patterning mechanisms... explaining distinct vocalisations in birds!
Estrogen modulates developmental signalling, explaining why male (but not female) ducks can whistle as well as quack.
Left-Right asymmetry during development of airways explains why some songbirds can harmonise with themselves.

Song et al. discover and characterize three co-opted/captured ERV envelope gene clades, revealing that each plays a distinct and critical role in neural regulation, reproductive maturation, and viviparity in vertebrates.

I love the cover of the latest issue of Development @Co_Biologists
As Alex Eve posted over on Bluesky: "the latest cover helps to remind us that Development is not just a faceless brand of a journal eager to line shareholder pockets - it's a group of people who share a love for #devbio and, in my experience, really are trying to do their best for their community."

Hello, here is a review I wrote about how cells sometimes try to synchronise with surrounding cells so that they can do a good job of building tissues during development. It is called "Keeping up with the neighbours"
