On #RareDiseaseDay2024, we highlight the work of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network, a collaborative research venture funded by @NIH to bring together clinical and research experts, which use flies, worms, and #zebrafish to diagnose human genetic diseases.

And with that, Ph.DONE! So much gratitude to my village (and schools of fish) who helped me get here.

Our lab is hiring! We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our amazing team! Please RT! #zebrafish #regeneration #fin

Ironic how the theme of the work is timing and I am exhibiting poor mastery of that... Fabulous work by Nicola Blum to understand factors that shape coordinated growth of somatic clones, modeling human overgrowth syndromes in zebrafish. Opening up new areas for disease modeling!
For your #WeekendRead check out a new paper from Nicola Blum & Matthew Harris @fishyskeleton @BostonChildrens on how somatic #OncogenicMutations in AKT1 or PIK3CA can cause a heterochronic shift in long bone formation and skeletal gigantism

Congratulations to Mea O. Songco-Casey, a UO neuroscience graduate student, for winning The Science Coalition’s 2022 #FundItForward Student Video Challenge. Watch her video and learn about her @NIH funded research on the octopus visual system. #UOresearch

Our latest paper is out today in @eLife. We show that Urotensin II-related peptides control the morphology of the zebrafish spine.
This helps us understand cues underlying spine shape and may provide insight into spinal curvatures like #scoliosis.

Congratulations to Beth Bearce (@Carcinoginger) for winning a talk prize at the 10th Aquatic Models of Human Disease conference (@AquaticModels). Beth spoke about Urotensin peptides and zebrafish spine morphology. Work was also recently preprinted: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The caudal fin of #teleost fishes has likely contributed to their evolutionary success by increasing maneuverability and thrust. Learn from @StankLab how caudal fin symmetry originates from a central organizer and sets of central and peripheral rays. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.475
Slightly surreal to be presenting a poster at #SDB2022 tonight in Vancouver, my first in-person conference since the ~before times~. Excited to share a flashy project (surprising and dramatic fin loss mutants!) and actually talk with others about their amazing research!

Dr Chuck Kimmel has always been a larger-than-life #zebrafish scientist! Congratulations to Dr Kimmel and @leonard_zon being inducted into @NationalAcad #izfc2022

Our paper that examines the spatial-temporal expression of all 41 Zfish gap-junction genes, the connexins, is out in @GeneticsGSA G3 journal. This scRNAseq dataset allows you to explore connexin expression in your favorite tissue through space & time.

Really enjoyed being a part of the @WuTsaiAlliance meeting at @UOKnightCampus last week! So fun to share the awesome zebrafish fin regeneration work we are doing in the @StankLab with our community!

Zebrafish tweeps, I’m looking for a construct that has the engrailed (en2a) promoter sequence. Does anyone have any they would be willing to share? DM for more info! Thanks!
