’We couldn’t live without it’: the UCSC Genome Browser turns 25 After a quarter of a century, the website remains an essential tool for navigating the genome and understanding its structure, function and clinical impact.

It’s been 25 years since the UCSC Genome Browser launched. Nature profiles how the website remains an essential tool for navigating the genome and understanding its structure, function, and clinical impact. #Academicsky 🧬 🧪

Range extender mediates long-distance enhancer activity - Nature The REX element is associated with long-range enhancer–promoter interactions.

Our paper describing the Range Extender element which is required and sufficient for long-range enhancer activation at the Shh locus is now available at @nature.com. Congrats to @gracebower.bsky.social who led the study. Below is a brief summary of the main findings www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

Congratulations 🎉

🧬 New preprint!
We’ve identified core microRNAs that orchestrate neural crest delamination and condensation in chick embryos, key for trigeminal ganglion formation.
✨ Introducing cranial MET-miRNAs into trunk neural crest cells reprograms them to gain cranial-like differentiation potential

Genetic Code Enables Zebrafish to Mend Damaged Organs New research identifies the genes necessary for zebrafish to regenerate their hearts after damage—work that could ultimately impact the recovery of human patients after heart attacks.

New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling Zebrafish’s ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage.

Development of the zebrafish anterior lateral line system is influenced by underlying cranial neural crest The mechanosensory lateral line system of aquatic vertebrates comprises a superficial network of distributed sensory organs, the neuromasts, which are…

Delighted to share our latest work on the anterior lateral line. Congratulations to our fabulous team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“These findings support the use of zebrafish as a useful comparative model for studying the meninges, provide a foundational description for future zebrafish meningeal research”
