We are #hiring! Come join us at Utrecht University (NL) and help centralize our ongoing #genomics efforts into a new core unit, embedded in our inter-divisional lab. We are looking for a Postdoc in molecular biology and a Bioinformatics engineer. Please apply/forward to those interested.

IMPORTANT study from @hocinerekaik.bsky.social @denisduboule.bsky.social and a significant validation of SCBEMs, #gastruloids in particular, as a discovery tool www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵

Our research work on using #singlecell co-mapping to study early embryonic development is now published: doi.org/10.7554/eLif....

With @burgesslab.bsky.social, not one, but TWO freshly caught T2T zebrafish reference genomes for the Tübingen and AB strains 🎣 🎣 🎉

CONCLUSIONS: To promote the best science being done, we need to look at the incentives of science publishing and funding. Long-term funding produces better science. Short-term and topical agendas encourages irreproducibility. Funding model organisms generates science we can build on! 🪰🪱🦠🐠🐁🐸 6/6 🧵

A new #zebrafish reference genome assembly (GRCz12tu) has been posted at GenBank! Special thanks to @burgesslab.bsky.social, NCBI, and the GRC for their immeasurable work 🔥 It is not yet annotated, but that will be forthcoming. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen... h/t Monte Westerfield on ZR!

Very important work #epigenomics, as we almost never image the cells when performing CnR/CnT experiments

New story from @marloes3105.bsky.social shows new insights towards optimizing the in vitro models of mouse embryogenesis.
