✨Read how a team of researchers led by David Lagman @lanternshark uncovered how #Oikopleura dioica repurposed ancient cellular machinery to build its complex, food-filtering "house." @AppyGenetics @mchlab @UiB @SocDevBio ⬇️ uib.no/en/michaelsarscentre/…

✨Huge congratulations to David Lagman @lanternshark with Anthony Leon @Bio_Antho, Nadia Cieminska @nadia24075483, Wei Deng, Marios Chatzigeorgiou @mchlab, Simon Henriet, and Daniel Chourrout @AppyGenetics for their latest publication in Developmental Biology @SocDevBio! 👏 @UiB
We are so happy to see @lanternshark's work finally published! By using a wide set of techniques (CRISPR, scRNA-seq, ISH, FISH, IF), we show the importance of Pax3/7b+ cells in the formation of the house in O. dioica. Moreover ...🧵 check 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2024…

Happy to have participated in this very nice story by @lanternshark @AppyGenetics on the role of Pax3/7 in Oikopleura dioica!
Finally! The work I did during my postdoc Bergen @MSarsCentre in the @AppyGenetics lab out in Developmental Biology! Great job everyone involved! doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2024…

... we also suggest a potential neuroepithelial-like feature of the oikoplastic fols, similarly to what is observed in ascidians, as Ciona. Comparative analysis at single cell level opens a new understanding for the emergence of novel features under conserved GRNs in tunicates

Our lab engineer @Bio_Antho is currently participating at the #EED2024. He is sharing updates about our favourite model Oikopleura dioica with the Evo Devo community. @MSarsCentre @UiB
Feel free to visit my poster P057 at #EED2024. The work was done in collaboration with @lanternshark at @MSarsCentre. Peace out ✌️

Cristian Cañestro @evodevogenomeUB from @GeneticsUB is showing us that ‘less is more’ when it comes to the genome of Oikopleura in a very entertaining talk, with a focus on gene loss and heart development in tunicates 👏 #NDEVMSS2024 @UiB
