🚨🧬 New #craniosynostosis disease gene alert! 🧬🚨 A recent article in @GIMJournal by @becky_tooze, @educalpena, and @srftwigg from the Wilkie group supports a role for PRRX1 in cranial suture development, and finds haploinsufficiency can cause craniosynostosis. (1/10)

By studying mice, researchers in @SciSignal found that the transcription factors Yap and Taz skew the fates of neural crest cells towards osteoblasts and away from chondrocytes by promoting osteogenic genes and repressing chondrogenic genes. https://t.co/fUIqYW7V2Z

Dogs are actually a remarkable species to study genomics and genetics! Their phenotypes are diverse, yet they are all one species. Their breeding is often precise and controlled, which makes genetics and genomics easier. Basically, dogs are perfect. #AskDrGenome
