  1. Onko HOX! Sittenkin Oululainen juttu? Luulin että teekkarijargonia kun lähinnä teekkarijutuissa siihen tuli aikanaan törmättyä.

  2. The cool #evodevo paper everyone is talking about: Molecular evidence of anteroposterior patterning in adult echinoderms
    "This finding suggests that from the perspective of ectoderm patterning, echinoderms are mostly head-like animals and provides a developmental rationale for the re-evaluation of the events that led to the evolution of the derived adult body plan of echinoderms."

  3. So I was rereading a cool arachnid evo-devo paper, and I wondered…

    Could you make a simple "animal" as a web page, using #CSS and #HTML as #Hox genes and body plan, so that people could tweak things using browser dev tools to hide/duplicate/alter the presentation of elements, the way scientists knock down or upregulate genes to see what it does to the animal?

    Evo-devo stuff has always reminded me of using "display: none !important" or "border: 1px solid red" to figure out what CSS rules do. And like CSS Zen Garden—radically altering the look of a page with CSS without touching the HTML.

  4. Notch activation revealed to be an important stepping stone on the path to acquiring anterior-posterior identity and mesodermal fate during axis elongation.

    Very interesting work from @a_tsakiridis, Fay Cooper & colleagues in Sheffield using human pluripotent cell-based models, plus some lovely chick embryo grafting data from Kim Dale's lab in Dundee

  5. Fantastic talk today by @DenisDuboule at the #MRCLMB on #Hox genes, highlighting their unique features and introducing the resolution of a long-standing mystery: the Hox timer. As explained in:

  6. Last WIP of my page for the 2nd edition of the Sequential Summer Slam organised by How To Draw Comics, focused on Kitty Pride (Aka Shadowcat). In the last panel, we also have the villain, Omega Red
