A new #zebrafish reference genome assembly (GRCz12tu) has been posted at GenBank! Special thanks to @burgesslab.bsky.social, NCBI, and the GRC for their immeasurable work 🔥 It is not yet annotated, but that will be forthcoming. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen... h/t Monte Westerfield on ZR! Slack
CONCLUSIONS:
To promote the best science being done, we need to look at the incentives of science publishing and funding. Long-term funding produces better science. Short-term and topical agendas encourages irreproducibility.
Funding model organisms generates science we can build on! 🪰🪱🦠🐠🐁🐸
6/6 🧵
- We found the chromatin signal is predictive of the activity of transcription factors (master regulators of cell identity).
Our datasets and tools are available open-source. I think there are many interesting results worth a deeper follow-up to further understand embryonic development.
