🚨 Excited to introduce FuChi (Fucci chicken), the first avian cell cycle reporter line. Thank you to all those who contributed to putting this paper together. I really think it showcases the power and beauty of the chick embryo as a developmental biology model. 🐥 🥚 🔬 @roslininstitute.bsky.social

📣 New review! Dynamical systems and low-dimensional geometric structures in phase space help rationalize how embryos develop form and function, from large datasets. We focus on morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and their interconnection.

Here's a great set of recorded lectures on Turing patterns by @profruthbaker.bsky.social from @ox.ac.uk.

Oxford Mathematics @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social · May 3

Alan Turing is the star of the next set of student lectures we are showing. But not the Turing of computer science or cryptography, but the Turing of zebra stripes.

Ruth Baker is talking mathematical biology and, in particular, pattern formation. Lecture 1: youtu.be/ta3pGHqPKkg
