With @burgesslab.bsky.social, not one, but TWO freshly caught T2T zebrafish reference genomes for the Tübingen and AB strains 🎣 🎣 🎉

A lovely graphic from The Allied Genetics Conference 2020 depicting the many model organisms that contribute to our understanding of science. https://genetics-gsa.org/drosophila-2025/professional-development/careers-at-tagc/

CONCLUSIONS:

To promote the best science being done, we need to look at the incentives of science publishing and funding. Long-term funding produces better science. Short-term and topical agendas encourages irreproducibility.

Funding model organisms generates science we can build on! 🪰🪱🦠🐠🐁🐸

Danio rerio genome assembly GRCz12tu - Danio rerio

A new #zebrafish reference genome assembly (GRCz12tu) has been posted at GenBank! Special thanks to @burgesslab.bsky.social, NCBI, and the GRC for their immeasurable work 🔥 It is not yet annotated, but that will be forthcoming. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen... h/t Monte Westerfield on ZR!

Very important work #epigenomics, as we almost never image the cells when performing CnR/CnT experiments

New story from @marloes3105.bsky.social shows new insights towards optimizing the in vitro models of mouse embryogenesis.
