Our latest paper is out - a new method called "TIME-Seq" to measure biological age for just a few dollars. Great work Patrick Griffin! @NatureAging Free download https://t.co/mXp6hNDCuO
Rather than relying on the usual model organisms, @fishyskeleton researchers @BCH_Innovation used rockfish to discover new genetic pathways connected to longevity. They published their work in @ScienceAdvances.

Ironic how the theme of the work is timing and I am exhibiting poor mastery of that... Fabulous work by Nicola Blum to understand factors that shape coordinated growth of somatic clones, modeling human overgrowth syndromes in zebrafish. Opening up new areas for disease modeling!
The longevity of rockfishes—which can live more than 100 years—comes from genes tied to insulin signaling and flavonoid metabolism, according to new research in @ScienceAdvances that also evaluated the influence of equivalent genes on human aging. https://t.co/hzXsGcMjgl

Share: I'm on the hunt for Ambystoma salamanders. Specifically, the all-female kind. We are hoping to fill in our current sampling for experiments in summer 2023. Do you work with amphibians or know someone who does on this map? Especially PA, NY, NJ, MA. Message me if so!
Help #SpreadTheWord! We are still recruiting dogs of all ages, all #breeds, all sizes, all across the US (one per household) ... but we would especially love to meet more #dogs in these areas (see📸).

How are different types of fins & limbs related? Do the same genes guide how different appendages form?
I w/ @davidjandzik@tetsuyanakamu@NeilShubin & others have added a piece to this evolutionary puzzle in this week’s @PNASNews cover story.

We're recruiting postdocs in the Daane lab at UHouston! Many #evodevo projects available. Combine comparative genomics and zebrafish genetics to develop a unique research program. PM or email if interested. Check out our website for more info: https://t.co/ivICzgDXQY (1/3)
‘Twas the year of Rockfish and all through the house…Use of Rockfish evolutionary model to refine human genomic signals of longevity. Preprint https://t.co/wlmxVyiaRh with D. Karasik @Joris_Deelen & J. Moribito of CHARGE. @Treasteveomics@jakedaane finding signals of good livin'
Fantastic and humorous journey with great animation. Working on means to isolate the flying ones as currently they ‘escape’ such experimental approaches and would be underrepresented in screens @fishyskeleton@jakedaane
Excited to participate in this absolutely stacked symposium line up on December 8.
Open to all! Just register below and come join for a fun day filled with awesome evo-devo talks!

Thanks to @NicolasRohner@ScienceStowers@Stowers_SRC for organizing
Unlocking the potential for healthy aging may require a global effort by scientists & entrepreneurs.

Fish species vary greatly in the relative size of their fins, but how is fin size specified? With @fishyskeleton, we combine forward genetic screens in zebrafish and comparative genomics in flying fishes to ID mechanisms regulating fin size

@CurrentBiology
What can the “living fossil” bowfin tell us about fin evolution & development?
@fishyskeleton & I teamed up with @FishEvoDevoGeno @DrewT1023 et al. to make omics resources to investigate fins in this enigmatic fish
See highlights of our findings below!

“You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to adapt to scorching or freezing environments. You look at a fish that knows how to do it already,” says Stephen Treaster of @HMSGenetics and @BostonChildrens https://t.co/HyBIWsqE6e
Fish have the genetic programs to make limbs! Cool paper by the Harris lab. Can't wait to walk through it, or swim through it, or fly through it... perhaps I have the potential for all! https://t.co/kMwBk4MRja
