News & Views article by Jesse and Alex on our RA-gastruloid model! Big thanks to @alex_schauer_ and @jvveenvliet for their insightful summary of our RA-gastruloid paper. The article also provides an overview of current stem-cell-based embryo models (SEMs) fields and future directions with beautiful images. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the latest developments in SEMs! nature.com/articles/s41556-0…
📢 Check out our @teamstembryo @NatureCellBio News & Views with postdoc @alex_schauer_ on the latest feat in human stem-cell-based embryo models by @Nobu_Hamazaki, @JShendure & colleagues. Full text: rdcu.be/dWw3c nature.com/articles/s41556-0… #gastruloids

Excited to share our human RA-gastruloid model in @NatureCellBio! Early retinoic acid supplementation, followed by later Matrigel addition, robustly induces human embryonic morphologies and diverse cell lineages, including somitic, renal, cardiac, and neural cell types in #gastruloid. rdcu.be/dRtj9

We're so excited to continue our collaborative work with @CarvillLab and @curechd2 on the CHD2 episignature. Thx to @ebonkowski @cwlaflamme @edith_almanza_ for leading the way on the actual work and to @CureEpilepsy for partnering to fund this. 🧬🧠🧬
Congrats to @hcmefford for Rare Epilepsy Partnership Award to study the methylation signature of CHD2-related disorders to help clarify VUS Dx + predict CHD2 symptoms & traits. @CureEpilepsy & @curechd2 are joint partners, co-funding this grant to accelerate CHD2 research

After a constructive set of reviews, our single-cell reporter work is OUT nature.com/articles/s41592-0… Check out the briefing if you want the tldr nature.com/articles/s41592-0… I am particularly fond of some of the new applications. Mini-update.

What if we could inducibly create thousands of structural variants and ecDNAs in human cells and see which ones survive? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… I’m excited to share our story on scrambling the human genome by combining prime editing, repetitive elements, and recombinases. A🧵

Structural variants (SV) impact more nucleotides per human genome than other forms of genetic variation. To better understand SV impact, we developed a method to 'shuffle' mammalian genomes and characterize them with single-cell resolution in a pool. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
