@martaig.bsky.social · 8mo agoLovely Xmas gift 🎄—our paper is out today in @natecoevo.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...! Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible, especially @aelek.bsky.social and @arnausebe.bsky.social
From a personal POV, tagging along with @martaig.bsky.social and @aelek.bsky.social while they developed this project has been one big learning opportunity. In Nematostella biology, clever omics, evo-devo, and more. And the paper certainly reflects all of that. Go check it out!
Arnau Sebé-Pedrós@arnausebe.bsky.social · 8mo agoExcited to share the final version of our study on Nematostella cell type regulatory programs. Part of our @erc.europa.eu StG project, this was a challenging 5-year effort extraodinarily led by @aelek.bsky.social and @martaig.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
