This paper marks the end of a long but rewarding project - and the start of something new (more below👇).
Massive thanks to @kaessmannlab.bsky.social, @ioansarr.bsky.social, @tyamadat.bsky.social, our amazing collaborators @steinaerts.bsky.social, Stefan Pfister, Rüdiger Behr and the entire team! 💙
We are thrilled that our study on the evolution of gene regulation in mammalian cerebellum development – led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social – is now out in @ScienceMagazine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gene regulatory changes are considered major drivers of evolutionary innovations, including the cerebellum’s expansion during human evolution, yet they remain largely unexplored. In this study, we com...
