🧬 Preprint! 🧵 Our goal is to genetically manipulate every embryonic germ layer to enable high throughput in vivo studies. We previously showed mouse ectoderm can be targeted by amniotic injection, enabling cell-specific manipulation, lineage tracing, and knockouts. But how to reach mesoderm?
Schematic of method developed and application. At embryonic day 7.5, a lentiviral library carrying unique 30-nucleotide barcodes and a fluorescent reporter is injected into the mouse exocoelomic cavity. An E8 embryo cross-section shows that this cavity is continuous with the intraembryonic coelomic cavity, allowing the virus to reach and barcode mesodermal progenitors, including lateral plate and paraxial mesoderm.

Happy Wednesday.
In case you forgot:
We live on a planet where whales sing songs that travel for miles.
Where trees can recognize their own offspring and protect them underground.
Where dolphins give each other names and where lightning can create glass in the sand.
Where horses can read human emotions.
Where rain has a smell before it even arrives and where the ocean can glow in the dark.
And where stars we see might not even exist anymore.
