More than a decade since CRISPR-Cas9 knock in came on the scene, it's remained underutilized in emerging models. Using transposase, and a split-FP system, we built an optimized knock in system for use in the genetically-enabled urchin, Lytechinus pictus. bit.ly/4wswLsd

🟣 What can a sea urchin teach us about human health? Scripps marine biologist Amro Hamdoun (@Hamdounlab) uses sea urchins to study how pollutants affect development and how we can design safer chemicals for the future.

Haven't posted on X for a while, because of all the things. But just a quick note to say that this pretty awesome group is still hard at work trying to unlock urchin biology.

Today we report single-cell APEX-seq (scAPEX-seq) — a new method for unbiased mapping of *subcellular* transcriptomes at single-cell resolution. This approach reveals cell states that are not detectable by standard scRNA-seq, and enabled us to identify regulators of CAR T function that improve solid tumor killing.

ExA-SPIM is giving scientists mind blowing views of the brain. 🤯
Using tech originally designed for defect detection in electronics manufacturing, the “ExA-SPIM” microscope allows scientists to view individual neurons and their wiring in the context of the entire mouse brain.

This beautiful #MicroscopyMonday shows how maternal regulation governs early embryonic development by coordinating gene expression in both time and space to direct proper embryonic growth. 🔬 @gopalkushawah (@BazziniLab)
