Our latest coral CRISPR paper is out at @PNASNews. We extended our methods to study gene function in coral juveniles. We found that a hard coral-specific bicarbonate transporter is required for coral skeleton formation.

Coral reefs support about 25% of known marine life, but they are threatened by warmer oceans and bleaching.

Marine scientist @pacleves explains how genetics research could help restore and protect reefs—and even advance human health. https://t.co/R2o4KTSVa8

Yesterday came the news about the decision to declare Slender-billed Curlew extinct. It's my ultimate favourite bird, so it is quite tough to face this realization. You can read more about it here:

Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with @MartinLabMIT in @Dev_Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!

We are sad to report that the legendary Joseph Gall, called the founder of modern cell biology for his contributions to our understanding of chromosomes and the cellular nucleus, and a widely recognized champion for women in science, has died at 96. https://t.co/EF7CQsTOFD

I will miss Joe…

When I overlapped with Joe at the Carnegie, he showed me a slide with what he thought may be new nuclear organelles which he was referring to at the time as coiled bodies
