Better late than never! Last month, we posted our preprint on single-cell RNA sequencing of the #zebrafish sox17 lineage — a collaboration among several labs including us, @stefanmaterna.bsky.social and @thelovelylab.bsky.social. A few key takeaways below: 1/3 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Transcriptional divergence of the zebrafish sox17 lineage begins during gastrulation
The endoderm is specified at the onset of gastrulation and subsequently undergoes extensive migration before forming an epithelial sheet that gives rise to multiple organs, including the gut and respi...

We are #hiring! Come join us at Utrecht University (NL) and help centralize our ongoing #genomics efforts into a new core unit, embedded in our inter-divisional lab. We are looking for a Postdoc in molecular biology and a Bioinformatics engineer. Please apply/forward to those interested.

IMPORTANT study from @hocinerekaik.bsky.social @denisduboule.bsky.social and a significant validation of SCBEMs, #gastruloids in particular, as a discovery tool www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵

With @burgesslab.bsky.social, not one, but TWO freshly caught T2T zebrafish reference genomes for the Tübingen and AB strains 🎣 🎣 🎉

CONCLUSIONS: To promote the best science being done, we need to look at the incentives of science publishing and funding. Long-term funding produces better science. Short-term and topical agendas encourages irreproducibility. Funding model organisms generates science we can build on! 🪰🪱🦠🐠🐁🐸 6/6 🧵
A lovely graphic from The Allied Genetics Conference 2020 depicting the many model organisms that contribute to our understanding of science.

Zebrafish Rock! @zebrafishrock.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
A new #zebrafish reference genome assembly (GRCz12tu) has been posted at GenBank! Special thanks to @burgesslab.bsky.social, NCBI, and the GRC for their immeasurable work 🔥 It is not yet annotated, but that will be forthcoming. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen... h/t Monte Westerfield on ZR! Slack

Very important work #epigenomics, as we almost never image the cells when performing CnR/CnT experiments
