A toolkit for testing membrane-localising tags across species Transgenic markers and tools have revolutionised how we study cells and developing organisms. Some of the elements needed to construct those tools are universally applicable (e.g. fluorescent proteins...

How can we see the cells that make up a living organism? Membrane-localising tags can drive fluorescent proteins to the cell's outer membrane, making their outlines visible. But the tags don't work well in all organisms. How do you find one for your species of interest? 🧡

Felix Zhou's u-Segment3D is out:

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It leverages 2D cell segmentations from orthoviews to generate a β€˜consensus’ 3D segmentation.

It does a great job on segmenting densely packed samples, and we have used the algorithm in many applications.

Very interested in the vector space of contractility/compaction and the link with implantation, not to mention the differences in aged embryos. Read and enjoy!
