@chrmosimann @marklewandoski Twist1 is a great marker. Weve been running whole mount immunos and it very specially labells the elongating LPM and somites.
@chrmosimann @AJ_Pask @itiscolossal @BioSci_UniMelb@Jendometrium Just the beginning. Lots of new and exciting details on neural crest AND lateral plate mesoderm development in this model!
Our paper on the embryology of the dunnart is now up! Stunning images of these amazing little animals, helping marsupial conservation efforts!!

And it begins! Interrogating of NCC development in dasyurid marsupials ๐คฉ Mid-gestation dunnart embryo visualized with DAPI and SOX10 probe, thanks to @HCRimaging.
@JackDAshby We we're fortunate to scan the ultra precious AMS 12 week PY specimen, which I think would have been of a similar stage. Though if you are able to CT this little one and make public that would be fantastic. @DSRovinsky has been doing some cool follow up work on thylacine crania!
@aNATomy_Lab@JackDAshby@DSRovinsky@ZoologyMuseum@khelgen@anjgoswami Great thread on this! They certainly look clavicular (see also here: https://t.co/Cl8DoGTnpN). The epipubic bones aren't ossified in developing thylacine PYs, so seems unlikely they would pop up in the adult.
@JackDAshby@ZoologyMuseum This was one of our dream thylacine specimens that we never got access to sample! I made a request for this when we we're putting together our thylacine developmental series paper but I didn't hear anything back :(
