Research on developmental timing, cell fates and RNA
If you prefer a linear mode of timing development, look at this preprint of Chiara’s and Florian’s work: how to coordinate events that take place during worm ‘puberty’.
Gene expression oscillators can structure biological events temporally and spatially. Want to know more about it? Then read our preprint available on bioRxiv!
Saheli holds a Master’s degree in neurogenetics. For her thesis, she worked on the role of circadian clock cells in maintaining sleep homeostasis in Drosophila melanogaster
TRIM71/LIN-41 is a phylogenetically conserved regulator of development that controls stem cell fates. In Thomas’s paper we show that TRIM71 primarily influences the gene expression of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) through its RNA-binding ability. Read more on the FMI webpage
