Investigating morphogen and patterning dynamics with optogenetic control of morphogen production

"🎵 Efficient, logical, effective, and practical 🎶". Also: beautiful.

Congratulations to Dirk Benzinger & James Briscoe.

🥂 🐌 First paper out from our Cuba-UK collaboration 🐌🥂. We used mtDNA and rRNA sequences to place beautiful Polymita snails in a phylogeny. Basically, they are basal to a whole bunch of other important and diverse snail groups. https://academic.oup.com/mollus/article/91/2/eyaf006/8173425

There's an obvious #paperthemetune, the "Polymita song", by collaborator Norvis Hernandez and others. https://youtu.be/1srl4_JI_Fs?si=G3Z5bVLCDWR554nl #snails #mtDNA #phylogenetics #UoN

New 🐌 paper, in which we tried to identify qtls that contribute to continuous variation in snail shell colour. While lacking power, short answer is that colour locus is involved, as well as likely other loci elsewhere.

New 🐌 paper alert! We showed that snails with v. few mtDNA copies per nuclear genome (<10) have a v. high rate of heteroplasmy; heteroplasmy is inherited through the germline, albeit with selection against synonymous mutations. We also found that some mtDNA genomes have tRNAs that are repeated up to 24 times! https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-024-10505-w

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

#Introduction

Hello #BiologyMastodon

I'm a prof of stem cell and developmental biology in Edinburgh. I'm here to hear about your interesting research
#DevBio #StemCells

I rather like our planet, and I'm co-founder and Chair of the Sustainable Conferencing Initiative at the Company of Biologists
#SustainableConferencing #SustainableScience

I also love music, and if I like your paper I might suggest a theme tune for it
