Multimodal cell lineage reconstruction in the hindbrain reveals a link between progenitor origin and activity patterning
The vertebrate brain develops through a precisely orchestrated sequence of events, where neural progenitors generate neuronal diversity. However, the importance of stem cell origin in the acquisition ...

The proposed Horizon Europe successor has 2x the budget, but there's a controversial catch:
The previously civilian-only program will be opened to "dual-use" research with defense applications.
... that's, of course, if this thing passes the EU Parliament.
New from me for @science.org 🧪

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field?
That's what @brunolemaitre.bsky.social et al. have done. Fly immunity is highly replicable & offers lessons for #metascience

Our paper describing the Range Extender element which is required and sufficient for long-range enhancer activation at the Shh locus is now available at @nature.com. Congrats to @gracebower.bsky.social who led the study. Below is a brief summary of the main findings www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

To dissect the gene regulatory networks used to build organisms, we need Perturb-seq-like tools that work in whole animals.
For this purpose, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, a tool that couples high-throughput CRISPR in zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNAseq.
