Mechanical forces drive evolutionary change
A small tissue fold present in fruit fly embryos buffers mechanical stresses and may have evolved in response to mechanical forces.
Dresden researchers @paveltomancak.bsky.social @bruvellu.bsky.social, Carl Modes, @cuencam15.bsky.social β¬ & colleagues published in @nature.com that a tissue fold in fruit fly embryos buffers mechanical stresses & may have evolved in response to mechanical forces. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

In 2008 Mark and I proposed the idea about the relocation of beta-catenin nuclearization and the endomesoderm induction (doi.org/10.1016/j.de...). Now data by @genikhovich.bsky.social et al shows, that beta catenin does not induce endomesoderm in cnidarians. Progress! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Schematic summary of Vasa+/Piwi+ cells deepining in quiescence when starved longer.
Thrilled to share our new prepreprint on the nutritional control of #Nematostella Vasa+/Piwi+ cells. Prolonged starvation delays Tor activation & cell cycle re-entry indicating quiescence deepening! tinyurl.com/2k9azd4y

Contribute to caseywdunn/sharkmer development by creating an account on GitHub.
Try our new in silico PCR (sPCR) tool sharkmer- github.com/caseywdunn/s.... You give it primers and fastq reads, it gives you sequences that would be amplified by PCR. Works in minutes on a laptop for high copy regions like rRNA, great for species id etc. Feedback welcome. #bioinformatics #ngs
