Latest from ours: www.cell.com/cell-reports... This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵

Do you want to understand how developmental programs are encoded in animal genomes? Join our lab at the @szndohrn.bsky.social for a PhD project to unravel the developmental dynamics in sea urchins during the metamorphosis from larva to juvenile. Deadline JUNE 14th! www.szn.it/index.php/it...

Interested in how food affects larval development? Check out my new preprint 👉 (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) This work wouldn’t have been possible without the support of @marinvmet.bsky.social and @camzoology.bsky.social
