Happy to share @AnastasiaLabud1 PhD paper now out in @Dev_journal 🐟🧬 Cohesin composition and dosage independently affect early development in zebrafish https://t.co/nZFIRQQWIN - we show that cohesin 'amount' vs 'flavour' matters differently to zebrafish embryos!
journals.biologists.com
Summary: Viable zebrafish mutants show that cohesin complex quantity versus composition leads to different transcriptional and developmental outcomes in the early embryo.

(1/16) Check out our @SimonMJGaudin paper https://t.co/ZcCmKI4CFh from the Canzio lab out in @ScienceMagazine today on how tuning local cohesin trajectories enables differential readout of the clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) locus across different types of neurons.

Excellent video from @whitefishlab on the tremendous value of discovery science to medicine
In defense of basic science - my new video about how we balance basic vs. translational science: https://t.co/BoQnmaIUJS. . And why we should encourage a culture of wandering to solve problems:. A team effort between @UniofOxford and @OxfordSparks.
