Desplan Lab at NYU is (finally) on Bluesky now. bsky.app/profile/desp...

I am giving a talk this Tuesday at @Harvard Neural Development Club about how minimal memory of spatial patterning confers flexible neuronal fates, thanks to @yichiahuang.bsky.social for the invitation. Thrilled to meet folks in Boston. Food provided. Apr 21, 5:30 PM, Warren Alpert 236

🤩🤩 Check out this selection of amazing images on the Node! #devbio thenode.biologists.com/grs-developm...

If using Bloomigton #Drosophila Stock Center stocks, pls. acknowledge them & their NIH funding (P40 OD018537). Papers listing this no. are being harvested as evidence. We massively depend on the @bdsc.bsky.social & they need our support in these dire times! @flybase.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

This was the last @hhmi.org conference Lilly and Yuh-Nung Jan attended as investigators. They're becoming HHMI emeritus but still run a thriving NIH-funded lab. From cloning the first potassium ion channel (Shaker) to decoding neuronal development, the Jans have made a huge impact.

We're so happy to hear this—makes it all worth it! And we second a shoutout to our fantastic organizers, Todd Nystul, Michelle Bland, @leilarieder.bsky.social, Amanda Croker, & @justinmcrocker.bsky.social 👏 We'd love to hear about fruitful collabs born from #Dros25 🪰 Tag us or DM us your stories!

It was a great pleasure to speak at the Single-cell Research Workshop organized by @perrimonlab.bsky.social and Professor Hongjie Li at #DROS25. It’s exciting to see all the rapidly evolving work diving deep into the diverse aspects of biological processes! (Photo credit: Yu-Chieh David Chen)

great job Binglong Zhang sharing his latest on miRNA/target function in nervous system. 1 more day #Dros25 to see posters, inc from Lai lab and collaborators: 🪰 🧬 292T George Boateng-Sarfo (m6A) 324T @signor-molevol.bsky.social (TEs) 596T Binglong Zhang (ELAV/Hu RBPs) 926T Becky Stewart (miRNAs)

Pavel Tomancak asks everyone who uses FIJI in the crowd to stand ... and dammit, 90% of the crowd stood. What a testament to the power of such tools. #DROS25

All editors rely on Pol3 because we use its promoters to transcribe the gRNA from plasmid vectors. I never thought something so cell-essential would be regulated. -> food for thought wrt editing cell types in various states.

Paired CRISPR screens to map gene regulation in cis and trans https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.27.625752v1

Best feature ever!

#NIH #NINDS paylines are at 8% for fiscal 2025. Tough year is due to increased research costs and federal budget uncertainty for FY 2025. Director's message here. Worth reading. www.ninds.nih.gov/news-events/...

A little birdie told us we should migrate to bluer skies. 😉 Hello Bluesky world. 👋🌎 Please re-share this post so we can follow you and help to grow the genomics community on here! 🧬✨
