and in this thread I'll highlight our new approach for applying tension on epithelial tissues in vivo!

New preprint from my PhD in
@amphispacelab.bsky.social
is out! π₯³ We investigated the evolution of my favorite gene FoxQ2 across 21 animal phyla, and found three ancient paralogs with a very dynamic history. More on phylogeny, synteny, and comparative in situs in the π§΅ below!

Evolutionary dynamics of FoxQ2 transcription factors across metazoans: A tale of three ancient paralogs
FoxQ2 is a highly conserved class of Forkhead-box transcription factors expressed on the anterior side of the body in cnidarians and bilaterians. Despite this conserved expression pattern, recent phyl...

For my first post on π¦, I am incredibly excited to share that my PhD paper has been published in
#ScienceAdvances
! We compared the development of the anterior neuroectoderm to uncover how the chordate
#forebrain
evolved π§ . Have a look at the summary π§΅ below!
