So excited to share that we've been able to generate knockout lines in the bobtail squid Euprymna berryi! The albinos are nearly transparent, which enables in vivo neural activity recording. Now out in Current Biology authors.elsevier.com/c/1hHXf_LsQSPr…

So excited to share some of the work I got to be a part of at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). Out now in Current Biology : authors.elsevier.com/c/1hHXf_LsQSPr…

Excited to share that our cuttlefish brain atlas is now out in Current Biology! Check out our website Cuttlebase.org and play around with the brain of this crazy camouflaging cephalopod. It was an amazing team effort 🐙✨ authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Not long until #SMBE2023! We’ve been studying the evolution of novelty in cephalopods by using high resolution genome topology data to look closely at differential chromatin loops and TAD structures. Come to my talk next Tuesday at 2pm in AD1 to learn more!

Comparative Hi-C really coming online at #SMBE2023. Two talks (Thea Rogers 👩🏼‍🔬 and Aurora Ruiz-Herrera) considering correlation between chromatin architecture and breakpoints of genome rearrangements.

Congratulations to Antonia Grausgruber Roger Revilla-i-Domingo for the poster prize at the #BasalMetazonWorkshop in Tutzing!! Thanks to Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo for bringing us into the unicellular world! Congrats also to Eudald Pascual-Carreras @PRHSteinmetz and Matthias Achrainer!

The review we wrote on 3D genome evolution in spiralians is out! It was a lot of fun writing this. We have lots to learn from this clade! academic.oup.com/bfg/advance-ar…

📢New paper out in 'G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics' Oxford Academic! 🐙The chromosome-level genome for the common octopus becomes a reference model to discover more about how the brain works 🌍An international #research in the framework of EASI-Genomics ➡️cnag.eu/news/chromosom…

Forscher*innen der #univie ist es gelungen ein Genom des Gemeinen Kraken auf Chromosomenebene zu entschlüsseln und damit eine wichtige Lücke in der Forschung zu schließen. 🐙🧬 Mehr dazu im Medienportal: ⤵ medienportal.univie.ac.at/media/aktuelle…

Oh this Hi-C heatmap is just flawless.

Our paper on the octopus genome made the cover Genetics Society of America G3! 🐙 Congrats to my mentee Dalila Destanovic, and the CNAG and @EveSeuntjens teams. Photo courtesy of David Stohlmann! academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti…

First chapter of my PhD thesis is out in the Dunn lab Casey Dunn. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!! Darrin Schultz Natasha Picciani, PhD stevehaddock.bsky and others!!

On my way to #SMBE24! We’ve been studying the effects of large-scale chromosomal rearrangement and genome expansion on gene regulation in coleoid cephalopods. Come to my talk on Monday at 4:45pm in Olas Atlas to find out more! 🧬🦑
