Very excited to share this new paper, fruit of a great collab with Silvia Mercurio, out in preprint! 🎉 We set up new methods for in vitro culture and gene/protein detection in the feather star A. mediterranea and used them to investigate its development. ⭐️ Tweetorial below!

Cephalopods are an incredible clade of animals and much of their biology is a mystery. I'm thrilled to share our new preprint, led by Gabrielle Coffing, describing an amazing discovery--ZZ/ZO karyotypes in cephs and the oldest sex chromsome found to date biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Biological systems are complex. Sometimes, removing just one tiny piece can be catastrophic… Can we study this with single cell analysis? Read our new bioRxiv (or this X-plainer) to find out! Please RT/RP! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Caroline Zandecki et al !! Beautiful work 🐡🐟
