Evidence suggests that transcriptionally similar cells can be functionally diverse

Does a cell’s gene expression always reflect its function?
Transcriptionally similar neurons can be functionally diverse.

Your new batch of cortical organoids resulted in mixed regional identities closer to hindbrain. Why is patterning so hard?😩

✨Our latest paper might help you✨

A summary schematic showing morphogen gradients in the developing human embryo, an overview of two screenings performed in the study (one testing factors related to patterning conditions, another one testing factors related to patterning reproducibility) and icons representing the main readouts of the screenings: organoid cell type composition, measures of morphogen interactions, primary atlas comparison and regulon activity.

Getting Rosalind Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Brain organoids are getting better at mimicking brains in a dish. But how good is too good? I take a look at the latest developments in my story today in the Times. Gift link: nyti.ms/496PPnC

🚀 Another edition of the Molecular Biosystems Conference is in the books! #mbiosys25

Thank you to our amazing speakers, participants, and sponsors, including ICGEB and @unubiolac.bsky.social, for making Puerto Varas a hub of exciting discussions on gene regulation and functional genomics. 🔽

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

Quantification of transcript isoforms at the single-cell level using SCALPEL - Nature Communications
Single-cell RNA-seq facilitates the study of transcriptome diversity in individual cells. Here, authors introduce a tool for isoform quantification at the single-cell level using 3’ scRNA-seq data, co...
