1) Regarding tail loss paper (nature.com/articles/s4158…),
Bo Xia, Itai Yanai 💔, @JefBoekeI , I have the following thoughts, that maybe should be presented as scenarios. Hopefully, the scenarios and additional comments invoke discussion in the community:

Kudos!👏 to Harsha Sen, 3rd-year grad student in Ricardo Mallarino lab, awarded Best Student Talk in Division of EvoDevo Bio at 2024 meeting of Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology #SICB2024 . The talk: 'Molecular evolution and development of the mammalian gliding membrane.'

Women are 4-times more likely to have autoimmune diseases than men. Why is this?

From Dou et al. in Cell, today

In females, the second X chromosome is silenced by a long non-coding RNA, called Xist (pronounced 'exist') - males don't express Xist

Xist, together with almost…

Just shared at Keystone Symposia a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts

I am so proud and honored to attend the extraordinary PhD defense talk by uiowabiology undergrad @ChefJorgeMoreno, now finishing his doctorate with Ricardo Mallarino. The science was beautiful, and not a dry eye in the house after the acknowledgments. Dr. Moreno is a superstar.

Our collaborative work on a primate-specific gene being essential for pancreas development in humans is out! nature.com/articles/s4158…

👀 nice write up of our recent paper rdcu.be/dqQ3I

Thanks Chris Amemiya Ricardo Mallarino and Dr. Anyi Mazo-Vargas for the time, help , guidance and advice you have to Colombian students interested in developmental biology to continue to pursue their dreams !

In a new study, Li et al. (Ricardo Mallarino lab) describe TIGER, an in vivo genome editing method to generate knock-outs and knock-ins in a simple and efficient way in rodents.
