#Napari does a good job promoting the #Tribolium model. 🤔

Models of gap gene regulation and spatiotemporal dynamics of gap gene expression in WT Tribolium embryos. (C,D) HCR FISH detecting subsets of the four core gap genes (hb, Kr, mlpt, gt) in staged WT embryos (14-38 h AEL). Panel C shows expression of hb, Kr, and mlpt concurrently in the same embryos, while panel D shows mlpt and gt concurrently in the same embryos. All embryos are oriented with anterior to the left and posterior to the right.

Embryonic patterning can arise from temporal gene activation translated into space; Mahla Ahmadi & co show that #Tribolium anterior-posterior patterning follows this logic at the genetic level. doi.org/10.1242/bio....

Noncanonical action of Relish controls larval development via transcriptional regulation of CncC in Tribolium castaneum In this study, using Tribolium castaneum as a model insect, we found that knockdown of TcRelish impaired pupation concomitant with decreased juvenile hormone (JH) levels and downregulation of JH degr....

Spatiotemporal segmentation of contraction waves in the extra-embryonic membranes of the red flour beetle - BMC Bioinformatics Background In this paper, we introduce an image analysis approach for spatiotemporal segmentation, quantification, and visualization of movement or contraction patterns in 2D+t and 3D+t microscopy rec...

New paper out now! 🎉 We tackle the challenge of quantifying novel contraction waves observed in the extra-embryonic membranes of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum.

My very first versus second gel. Got much stronger bands and cleaner gel, excited to keep practicing and see the results of sequencing some of these colonies! #tribolium
