I assembled the GRCz12tu and am happy to see it being used by the community.

Apart from my research with #zebrafish, I am also a farmer. 🌱 Farming is both an art and a deeply therapeutic experience; Here’s a glimpse of my #sugarcane farm somewhere in Africa. 🌾🌍 @zebrafishrock.bsky.social

I spend most of my time doing very basic research, but I am at a symposium to honor Dan Kastner whom I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a couple times. It is jarring to see actual patients with diseases my lab helped model in zebrafish and makes me a little proud we could help.

Robyn: “I don’t think anyone owes any model system anything. If a model is useful, you’ll get funded and do good work, and that leads to publications.”

Funding awarded to the Denmark institution and the study to be conducted somewhere in Africa. Hahahaha 😆 😂

Wow indeed. This is a disaster for U.S. science in so many ways. We're losing the future.

🚨 New #zebrafish reference genomes released! Both TU & AB assemblies now include long-missing regions; centromeres, telomeres, and segmental duplications (SDs). A major step toward complete, accurate models for functional & comparative genomics. 🧬🐟 #Genomics #T2T #Zebrafish

Gotta admit that a day 2 zebrafish embryo is a lot cuter than a day 2 mouse embryo 🐠🧪🔬
