Pleased to announce two new publications, in Current Biology and PNAS, from outstanding postdoc Delai (Dylan) Huang, just a week before he leaves to start his new faculty position at Zhejiang University.

Nice video for lay audience on use of songbirds for neurodegeneration/regeneration research, with UVA faculty member Dr. Tracy Larson (lab next door to mine and coPI of ongoing experiment to raise human F1s at home). youtu.be/FUzuWyguADY?...

Worth a read--the DEI scrubbing, while disappointing, is perhaps not surprising , but substantially inflating his publication record.....

On page 9 of Beardsley’s CV, he claims to have “Published over 70 peer-reviewed and/or edited articles, books, research papers …” We reviewed Appendix A, where Beardsley lists numerous items under “Peer-Reviewed and/or Edited Articles and Books.” We counted the entries. Excluding op-eds, there are 32 entries, not “over 70.” If you add the eight op-eds, the total is 40 publications. Perhaps there are some papers that he chose not to include on the CV. If so, why?

More concerning than Beardsley’s inability to count is his claim regarding published peer-reviewed articles. We found no entries in academic, peer-reviewed journals. All but one of the articles he cites appeared in McKinsey Quarterly or the World Economic Forum’s Global Information Technology Report, neither of which are academic peer-reviewed journals. Beardsley addresses this concern in a note, explaining that McKinsey Quarterly pieces are “subject to peer review, including by Nobel laureates,” and that internal research publications were “subject to peer review before being made available to colleagues and clients.”

New model system. ASIP (a-y/a-t); MC1R (E-m/+); MFSD12 (i/+); TYRP1 (b-s/+); MITF (s-p/+); RALY (+/+). IYKYK. Also a very good boy.

Just in time for the New Year we have a new preprint up that focuses on white cells, often used as ornaments in fish. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint up with collaborators Jianguo Lu, @mpodobnik.bsky.social, Uwe Irion, Braedan McCluskey, John Postlethwait and others. New Danio genomes, evolution and pigment pattern variation. Long time in the making www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nemo needs gap junctions, too. New preprint with Marleen Klann, Vincent Laudet, et al. showing anemonefish Snowflake mutant due to E42K substitution in Connexin Gja5b. Found exact same E42K in zebrafish gja5b (= leopard) by ENU, to the nucleotide! Details, inferences: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Huge congrats to Ray Keller on his election to the National Academy of Sciences! Ray isn’t on Bluesky but that shouldn’t stop anyone from letting him know how well deserved this is, or the impact he’s had generally. Certainly his work was a major reason I ended up in dev bio.

Cool paper out from former lab member Braedan McCluskey’s dissertation, with John Postlethwait. Shows role of hybridization in zebrafish genome evolution. Interesting implications for pigment pattern evolution. academic.oup.com/g3journal/ar...

The hybrid history of zebrafish

Abstract. Since the description of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in 1822, the identity of its closest living relative has been unclear. To address this problem,

New NIH funded research from our group now out. We are interested in development and evolution of cell types and adult phenotypes. In this paper, postdoc Dylan Huang and collaborators asked how a pigmentary ornament of bright white cells develops on the fin of zebrafish. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Cirrhilabrus hygroxerus, the Monsoon Fairy Wrasse Two in two days! I’m feeling generous. Ok I’m gonna speed run this one. Hygro = wet Xeros = dry Wet + dry = monsoon = weather profile of Darwin = type location of this species

A small species of fairy wrasse (a type of fish) with bright red pendulous pelvic fins. The body is bicolored - black above, silver below. The head is chestnut orange and the tail is scintillating blue.
