Awesome paper from Charlie Feigin @LTrobeCalldQust about coat colour patterning in marsupials, uncovering what causes dark fur in some quolls and white fur in marsupial moles! @UniMelb @BioSci_UniMelb

Pigmentation in mammalian hair follicles is governed in part by interactions between agouti signalling protein (ASIP) and the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). The most common coat colours in mammals...

Amazing new biorxiv on #DireWolf from @colossal @BenLamm - revealing their ancestry and many new biological features #paleogenomics
Dire Wolves were closer to wolves than jackals and also had white/light colored coats. Check out our new paper with more than 500x more genetic data than anyone has ever had on dire wolves. Also check out the incredible author list on the paper.

For the past two years, I’ve been quietly working with @BenLamm and the other brilliant minds at @Colossal Biosciences, joining their mission to de-extinct animals such as the woolly mammoth, the dodo, and the thylacine. Today, I’m excited to share a groundbreaking achievement:
A tiny Colossal woolly mouse is the key to the de-extinction of a woolly mammoth? Uhm…say what? With seven edited genes, this tiny pioneer exhibits mammoth-like traits, including golden fur and cold resistance. Watch as Dr. Beth Shapiro explains how this breakthrough is a tiny

Absolutely THRILLED to have been part of this groundbreaking study revealing that muscle secreted “myostatin” regulates fertility. Proudest of moments to be on this “Science” paper also with one my my biggest heroes in the field @BetaglycanDan! 👩🏼🔬🌟🤩🥳 https://t.co/me1fQKOmLn

Myostatin is a paracrine myokine that regulates muscle mass in a variety of species, including humans. In this work, we report a functional role for myostatin as an endocrine hormone that directly...
