Introducing a Clytia planula cell atlas, and demonstrating broad-level relations with medusa cells via another updated atlas. By @annaferraioli.bsky.social with @juliarmateu.bsky.social and collaborators in a project led by @rcply.bsky.social @biodev-vlfr.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

This great piece by @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social highlights the sea squirt Ciona as a versatile and tractable model for marine sciences, from cells to ecosystems 👏🧪 Read it in @natmethods.nature.com ⤵️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Well, we also find increased contractility in the aged embryo also correlates with faster compaction at the 8-cell stage. Could this be a possible metric to see which ones will implant?
Admirez la magie du développement cellulaire des organismes marins !

Our effort to extend genome editing across species just got a new member. This time, not a marine organism, nor a vertebrate, but the beautiful Dictyostelium discoideum and other Dictyostelids. In collaboration with van Gestel group

And... it's live! In situ hybridization has been foundational for sea urchin developmental biology. Here we report a fully automated method to probe more than a hundred genes using a general purpose liquid handler.www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03....

The "superpower" of sea urchins is the fact that a single female can produce millions of embryos. In the next day or so we will share a new method to analyze gene expression methods in these embryos using a fully automated, open platform.
