GRCz12tu is available on Genbank. This will be one of two genomes that will be considered "reference" genomes, there will also be a GRCz12ab assembly coming. It has entered the NCBI annotation pipeline and will also go into the Ensembl annotation pipeline. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen...

The Institute mourns the loss of R. Scott Hawley, PhD. A brilliant scientist, cherished colleague, and true mentor. Scott's contributions to our understanding of genetics and passion for training the next generation of scientists will forever be remembered. bit.ly/3WPqqYG

Where did our neck muscles come from?🧪 Here's our #evodevo #devbio deep dive feat. #zebrafish, mouse, axolotls, & more! Led by Eglantine Heude & Tajbakhsh lab at Pasteur, the team at National Museum of Natural History France, & lab alumni Karin Prummel & Rob Lalonde. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Let's take a look #UnderTheScope at two zebrafish – one showing fluorescently labeled germ cells. 🔬 👀 #Zebrafish are freshwater vertebrate animals used to study #development, #genetics, and #regeneration. @michaydiez.bsky.social (Gerton Lab)

🦃 Around Thanksgiving, we often stop to consider what we’re grateful for. But gratitude is important for our relationships and physical health all year long. It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. So how do we cultivate a practice? Me for @washingtonpost.com 🎁🔗 wapo.st/3Zmq8tM
