I am super excited to see our work on #bioRxiv 🤩!! Special thanks to Denis Duboule and Christopher Chase Bolt, it was a lot - of fun - working with you on 🦓🐟🐭 regulatory evolution.





When you can't decide which concurrent session to attend at Helsinki #EED2024 Ateneum Art Museum


We are looking for a bioinformatician Collège de France CIRB_CdF in Paris to analyse genomic/epigenetic datasets🧬 in the context of a synergy European Research Council (ERC) long term program. See below and apply😎 RT🙏


Fish shoulder girdle is weird and fascinating evo-devo model. Multiple cell populations come together and make one composite bone. Check our latest with Shunya K, Christian Mosimann Rob Lalonde #evodevo #teamfish #heterogeneity nature.com/articles/s4146…

How can you make a zebrafish fin grow into a triangle instead of a fork?? Congratulations to Eric and Nicolás Cumplido and the whole team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Holy cow! A beautiful phenotype matched with excellent analysis! Congratulations Yoshitaka Tanaka and all the authors. Zebrafish fins can be elaborated across multiple axes to produce new skeletal patterns


I am very excited to share the first preprint from my postdoc with Kim Cooper ! Read along to learn about tails and vertebral proportion 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This a special one for us, I found this weird mutant without a dorsal fin close to 15 years ago while a postdoc with Chuck Kimmel University of Oregon Ultra talented Raisa Bailon, PhD🇪🇨 uncovered a complete story as my first PhD student. Back burner projects can pay off. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
