Updates from the Molecular Genetics of Protochordates team at @MSarsCentre @UiB

[Chourrout lab @AppyGenetics]

Such a great seminar given by our own #SimonHenriet. "Study of Fritillaria borealis U2AF paralogues provides first insights into non-canonical splicing". @UiB @MSarsCentre

[NCMBM @NCMBMnews]

We are delighted to welcome @SimonHenriet2 from @MSarsCentre to present his work on reprogramming intron!

@MSarsCentre and @NCMMnews are the 2 Norwegian @embl partners.

Congratulations Terra Hiebert, @bluewaterlab & Kelly Sutherland for a new article @aslo_org in collaboration with Anne Aasjord @aaasjord from @AppyGenetics 👏🌊 Filter-feeding larvaceans are picky eaters... Read the paper ⤵️

[Chourrout lab @AppyGenetics]

Congratulations @bluewaterlab and @aaasjord on this beautiful paper

[Anne Thompson @bluewaterlab]

Our new paper shows how particle surface charge influences grazing by the magnificent appendicularian. Spoiler, it may matter most to the smallest cells https://t.co/0JyLVskXfO With Kelly Sutherland, Terra Hiebert, and @MSarsCentre

The choanoflagellate Barroeca monosierra on the cover of @mbiojournal 🤩. Our work shows that this large colonial choano from Mono Lake harbors live bacteria. Beautiful picture by @Kayley_Hake #choanoflagellates @MSarsCentre @UiB @thembauk @UCBerkeley https://t.co/StWQ4XtbSm

The opening of #JellyfishUnveiled revealed stunning work by talented photographers @Alexandre4_Jan @JoanJSoto & @aaasjord 🤩 Thank you to everyone who made this possible, we are incredibly proud of this collaboration with @UiB_museet! Open Oct. 4-30, don't miss out!! 🪼 @UiB

✨Read how a team of researchers led by David Lagman @lanternshark uncovered how #Oikopleura dioica repurposed ancient cellular machinery to build its complex, food-filtering "house." @AppyGenetics @mchlab @UiB @SocDevBio

We are excited to host the @deuteronoise @jpioceans consortium members at @UiB @MSarsCentre for the next two days! We were extremely lucky to have @OyvindFiksen join us to give the welcome remarks and present the vibrant UiB marine community to our guests

[Michael Sars Centre @MSarsCentre]

✨Huge congratulations to David Lagman @lanternshark with Anthony Leon @Bio_Antho, Nadia Cieminska @nadia24075483, Wei Deng, Marios Chatzigeorgiou @mchlab, Simon Henriet, and Daniel Chourrout @AppyGenetics for their latest publication in Developmental Biology @SocDevBio! 👏 @UiB

[Chatzigeorgiou lab @mchlab]

Happy to have participated in this very nice story by @lanternshark @AppyGenetics on the role of Pax3/7 in Oikopleura dioica!

[David Lagman @lanternshark]

Finally! The work I did during my postdoc Bergen @MSarsCentre in the @AppyGenetics lab out in Developmental Biology! Great job everyone involved! https://t.co/0jxv7sDUCB

[Chourrout lab @AppyGenetics]

@lanternshark ... we also suggest a potential neuroepithelial-like feature of the oikoplastic fols, similarly to what is observed in ascidians, as Ciona. Comparative analysis at single cell level opens a new understanding for the emergence of novel features under conserved GRNs in tunicates

[Chourrout lab @AppyGenetics]

We are so happy to see @lanternshark's work finally published! By using a wide set of techniques (CRISPR, scRNA-seq, ISH, FISH, IF), we show the importance of Pax3/7b+ cells in the formation of the house in O. dioica.

What an amazing week at #EED2024. Here the current and former @MSarsCentre members in Helsinki 😎

[Chourrout lab @AppyGenetics]

Our lab engineer @Bio_Antho is currently participating at the #EED2024. He is sharing updates about our favourite model Oikopleura dioica with the Evo Devo community.
@MSarsCentre @UiB

[Antho Leon 🇵🇪 @Bio_Antho]

Feel free to visit my poster P057 at #EED2024. The work was done in collaboration with @lanternshark at @MSarsCentre. Peace out ✌️

#EED2024 Opening

[Michael Sars Centre @MSarsCentre]

Cristian Cañestro @evodevogenomeUB from @GeneticsUB is showing us that ‘less is more’ when it comes to the genome of Oikopleura in a very entertaining talk, with a focus on gene loss and heart development in tunicates 👏 #NDEVMSS2024 @UiB

[Michael Sars Centre @MSarsCentre]

Our very own @KTGarschall from the @PRHSteinmetz lab presents her work characterizing body plasticity in the sea anemone Nematostella, and elucidating the mechanisms of their incredible feeding-dependent growth and degrowth abilities ✨👏  #NDEVMSS2024 @UiB
