Variants in NR6A1 cause a novel oculo vertebral renal syndrome - Nature Communications
Colobomatous microphthalmia often lacks a genetic diagnosis despite its developmental complexity. Here, the authors show that rare variants in NR6A1 cause a syndromic form with eye, kidney, and verteb...

@mmaftei.bsky.social @smikulamrstakova.bsky.social and @aitorbg.bsky.social from our lab showed their research at the @ucleye.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk Early Career Researcher meeting. They all did fantastic and Aitor was awarded the best poster prize… congratulations Aitor! #devbio #zebrafish #science

Some #zebrafish news. After consulting with the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) we will annotate one of our Tübingen T2T assemblies as a reference genome. This is an excellent assembly that we can get into the hands of the zebrafish research community right now. We are continuing our efforts

It is with great joy that we are receiving @valetornini.bsky.social these weeks, who came to the land of her ancestors for scientific networking. Looking forward to her talk tomorrow at Facultad de Ciencias, Udelar. Will she dare to give her talk in Spanish? Yes, she will! @socneurouy.bsky.social

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/PB6s8PQ
