It was so cool to see fish embryos! 🐟 If you know me, you know I love fish. I also happen to be interested in embryos, so seeing these were really exciting to me!

Just a couple years ago, I would sit in my office watching YouTube videos of ICSI and day dream about learning to micromanipulate embryos 💭 Now I have my own cool video to share! These are cow zygotes 🐮

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US. Without essential infrastructure, there will be: Staff cuts Lab closures Fewer research projects Less scientific progress Loss of talent The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

Be sure to check out the preprint of our newest work! Together we developed a new method for CRISPR-Cas DNA and RNA targeting in cattle zygotes 🐮

I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be a monozygotic twin blastocyst! That looks like two beautiful ICMs to me. What does embryo Twitter think? (in vitro produced cattle blastocyst 🐮)

In our recent publication, using a newly completed sequence of the cattle Y chromosome, we identified PCR primers along with a set of four genes which can determine sample sex via RNA-sequencing data. 🐄 🧬 @BiaseLab frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Very excited to share an image of my 🐮 embryos resulting from zygotes electroporated with exogenous EGFP mRNA! Stay tuned for more from the @BiaseLab.
