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. pewtrsts.org/4mMdc8Y

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!

Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

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
