If you wondered what ‘oidsks’ are - these belong to a species of ‘Haptomonitora typo-didae’. Can frequently be found on the world wide webs.

That's it: #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026 is over. Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you.

Going to a GfE Meeting like #gfe2026 is like meeting friends & family. On the train with fellow COSians (@COSHeidelberg.bsky.social).

it’s already … tomorrow?! Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio

Things progress. PhD students graduate, labs change. The door of the glyco lab a.k.a. ‚the sugar cube’ closed as we moved one door further. All that remains is a LEGO memory of it (#Klemmbaustein). Thanks for all the good science, games and fun @encarnischezsal.bsky.social and @kpakari.bsky.social

Proud of Kaisa Pakari @kpakari.bsky.social to receive the 2025 Schmeil young researcher award for her #PhD thesis. She established 🐟 models to address disorders of #glycosylation #CDG by advancing #baseediting range for precise genome editing @wittbrodtlab.bsky.social @cos.uni-heidelberg.de

new #preprint: mRNA delivered degron system w/ GFP-nanobody to efficiently reduce GFP-tagged proteins in an inducible manner in 🐟 Case study: reduction of PMM2 (basis for ER-based #glycosylation) causes hypoglycosylation reported from CDG-patients www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #CRISPR #RareDisease

Establishing an auxin-inducible GFP nanobody-based acute protein knockdown system to mimic hypomorphic mutations during early medaka embryogenesis

Creating hypomorphic mutations are crucial to study gene function in vivo, especially when null mutations result in (embryonic) lethality. This is especially the case for enzymes involved in glycosyla...

Happy to share our new preprint on lens morphogenesis in ocular organoids. All thanks to Elin Stahl, Miguel Angel Delgado-Toscano, Ishwariya Saravanan, Anastasija Paneva and Jochen Wittbrodt @wittbrodtlab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New pre-print klaxon: "Discovery and characterisation of gene by environment and epistatic genetic effects in a vertebrate model" led by the excellent Bettina Welz + @saulpierotti.bsky.social from @wittbrodtlab.bsky.social, Felix Loosli, Kiyoshi Naruse and my own lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Discovery and characterisation of gene by environment and epistatic genetic effects in a vertebrate model

Phenotypic variation arises from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. However, disentangling these interactions for complex traits remains challenging in observational cohorts such...
