very cool method to detect positive selection on regulatory sequences!
I'm excited to present this new model to detect positive selection on regulatory sequences, which has been 3 years in the making!
Thanks to Alexandre Laverré and @Phylogenetrips for their amazing work on this project. 😃

Please RP.
We are thrilled to announce that our lab’s first preprint is out!
”Whole-genome single-cell multimodal history tracing to reveal cell identity transition”

We report HisTrac-seq, a multiomic single-cell molecular recording platform.

To dissect the gene regulatory networks used to build organisms, we need Perturb-seq-like tools that work in whole animals.

For this purpose, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, a tool that couples high-throughput CRISPR in zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNAseq.

MIC-Drop-seq: Scalable single-cell phenotyping of mutant vertebrate embryos
Pooled perturbation screens can reveal cellular regulatory networks, yet scaling these techniques for large-scale screens in animals remains challenging. To address this, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, wh...

Using a newly developed AI model, the research group @schierlab.bsky.social @biozentrum.unibas.ch @unibasel.ch has discovered in #zebrafish that certain sections of #mRNA control the extent of protein synthesis during early embryonic development. ow.ly/4zyU50V7v1c @cellpress.bsky.social

Out now in Dev Cell! scRNAseq trajectories describe the cascade of gene expression as cells differentiate, but turning them into a clear understanding of the underlying biology of a cell type's development remains challenging. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k9qj5Sx5g... (1/)
