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...

In developing embryos, cells move a lot! Plenty of that movement is random. Is random cell mixing a feature or bug for tissue patterning? Turns out, it’s both! Excited to share the 1st preprint from my postdoc w/ Sean Megason @seanemcgeary.bsky.social and Allon Klein. 1/20 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
