New in @ScienceAdvances: we link Holstein white spotting to regulatory variants in KIT and MITF, validated in ‘Holsteinized’ mice - a neat case of structural + epistatic genetics shaping coat colour. A big thanks to the Littlejohn and Yamanaka groups!

Our new preprint is out!
We are excited to share that together with the Roslin Institute, we’ve developed FuChi, a cell cycle biosensor for avian development.
Check it out on bioRxiv: https://t.co/wHSCy4fChc

The Fucci2a system and the R26Fucci2aR mouse model are valuable tools for the investigation of #CellCycle dynamics in cell culture and during mouse embryonic development.
