Five more journalists killed in a #Gaza hospital today. The toll is now 200. And in our so-called democracy, silence.

#zebrafish genome update from Shawn Burgess

Blind cavefish still keep an ancient DNA repair trick — even in total darkness 🌑🐟 New Nature Communications study from Nick Foulkes & team @ IBCS, KIT: "Conservation of dark CPD photolyase function in blind cavefish" doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Dear Jacob, I believe that better days will come, because every tyranny and dictatorship eventually collapses, precisely because they are built on injustice and the oppression of some over others. Stay strong and safe Azizi!!!!.

Important !!!! #DANIO-CODE data coordination is back online!!!

🐟 Karlsruhe Institut of Technology hosts since 2012 Europe’s only Zebrafish Resource Centre (EZRC). 30,000+ mutant lines, 2,000+ gene plasmids (Armant et al. 2013: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2013.05.006, Diotel et al. 2015: 10.1002/cne.23733), plus hands-on courses in 🇩🇪 & 🇬🇧! ! 🔬 www.ezrc.kit.edu #Zebrafish

The world is truly insane!!! A war criminal is supporting a narcissistic politician who incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Congress—for the Nobel Prize. This is the most ridiculous joke ever.

After 2 intense months and a 42-page rebuttal (!), we’ve resubmitted our revised MS: “Multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka expression in telencephalic neural stem cells of adult #zebrafish.......” Soon on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social — stay tuned!

The animation in the sky for the 200th anniversary of research in Karlsruhe and #KIT was performed using 200 drones.

#KIT 's 200th anniversary party!

The very first #German #Fish #meeting will take place in September 2026 in #Heidelberg! Stay tuned — more info will be published right here. But already now: mark your calendars! I’m sure it will be a fantastic meeting with the whole German Fish community — and more!!! 🐟 🐠

Forgot to mention: The #German #fish #meeting will be held in the beautiful city of #Heidelberg. We've gathered a list of 64 German fish labs, but if you've started your lab recently, please get in touch to join our mailing list! #zebrafish #medaka #Danionella #cavefish

We—Nicolas @rohner.bsky.social, Lauren @lsaunders.bsky.social, Arica @abeisaw.bsky.social & Sepand @rastapopolus.bsky.social—are planning the first German #fish ( #zebrafish, #medaka, #killifish, others) #meeting for September 2026. If you're a PI & want info, get in touch!

Latest preprint @zebrafishrock.bsky.social and @the-node.bsky.social

My lab explores #neurogenesis and #regeneration in #zebrafish embryonic spinal cord and adult telencephalon. Interested in these topics? Check out our recent reviews! 🐟🧠 doi:10.1111/febs.17231, doi:10.1111/febs.16913, doi:10.3390/cells10020391, doi:10.3389/fnins.2020.568930

🧠 #Mdka is a pan-injury marker, upregulated after tissue damage across species. 🐟 We studied its regulation during adult #zebrafish brain #neurogenesis and regeneration. 🔍 Screened for regulatory sequences in both normal and #regenerative conditions. 📄 Read 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Shawn #Burgess is definitely a great scientist who is always ready to share his discoveries and tools with others. He is one of the best!!!!!!

It seems there's a bias for GFP expression in the notochord when generating #Zebrafish transgenics—many lines show this, and sometimes in rhombomeres 3/5, even though the endogenous gene isn't expressed there!!!!!

#EZRC 30,000 mutant, transgenic, and WT lines, lab training and fish courses!!!

European #Zebrafish Resource Center (EZRC) joined #Bluesky

Thanks @sfbd.bsky.social

Multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka expression in zebrafish adult telencephalic neural stem cells during constitutive and regenerative neurogenesis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.09.647643v1

Definitely a very good lab to apply to for doing good research !!!!

Zebrafish ENCODE project #ShawnBurgess #FerencMuller

Happy to share that our MS on the transcriptional regulation of MDKA, a key injury response gene in #zebrafish adult telencephalon, is published @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social !Explore how multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka in telencephalon 🐟🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

European labs using #Zebrafish need a strong stock center! 🐟🧬 Please support us by depositing your fish lines at EZRC and allow us to redistribute them to the #zebrafish community worldwide. 👉 www.ezrc.kit.edu

This is the link to the EZRC page: www.ezrc.kit.edu Deposit your mutant/transgenic lines, request plasmids or #zebrafish lines, or join the international fish course: izmc.ezrc.kit.edu/english/inde... 🧬🐟 please share!!!!!

Join us at the 2nd Zebrafish Meeting, happening Oct 29–31 in Toulouse, France! 🐟 #Zebrafish #Science

Starter Packs from the #zebrafish community!

We should never forget to prevent history from repeating itself. #Buchenwald

Sunny day!!!!

For @mads100tist.bsky.social #SpinalCord #zebrafish

Here's a summary of our work before sharing the link to our manuscript: 'Multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka expression in #zebrafish adult telencephalic neural stem cells during constitutive and regenerative #neurogenesis

After years of hard work by several students, and just before the first author leaves on Friday, we submitted our paper to @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! We studied transcriptional regulation of the very complicated injury response gene mdka in adult zebrafish 🐟 telencephalon. Link soon! #Zebrafish

Thanks to @filodelbene.bsky.social and @clairewyart.bsky.social for organizing the fantastic European #Zebrafish PI meeting in beautiful #Paris!

Alex #Schier is giving a fantastic talk at the European #Zebrafish PI meeting

Do you need a certificate to work with fish models? Transgenic lines or mutants generated by Sanger or Tübingen? Get in touch with us at www.ezrc.kit.edu! #Zebrafish

Heading to the European #Zebrafish meeting with my best friend #DB, but the train is already 12 minutes late. Yesterday, the same train was delayed by 1 hour!!!

#DANIO-RECODE team members #zebrafish

Working hard on our group's next publication before my students leave the lab after a successful thesis defense. #PILife #Publication #Transgenic #Zebrafish

Receiving a high-citation certificate feels quite peculiar to me!! 🌟 #Publication #TheJournalOfComparativeNeurology #zebrafish 🎉 #Brain

The bittersweet part of being a PI: people spend months or years in your lab, then move on — but new faces always join! This month we welcome four arrivals: Sophie & Timo (BA students, DE), Mathilde (PhD candidate, FR), and Aurora (lab exchange, IT). Welcome aboard! #PILife

🚀 happy to share our latest work in Environment International (doi.org/10.1016/j.en...)! We highlight the key role of exposure routes, media & solvents in interpreting #zebrafish studies — crucial for ecotoxicology & cross-species comparisons. 🐟💡 #Research #Ecotoxicology #KIT

#DanioReCde kickoff meeting

I am extremely shocked and saddened by the senseless and inexcusable act of terror today in #Munich, #Germany. I come from an immigrant background myself, and there is and will never be any justification for such an act anywhere in the world.
