Genome editor CRISPR helps trace growth of embryos—and maybe cancer next

Biologists use DNA-cutting method to label cells with distinctive “barcodes” they can track

Cell "family trees" w/CRISPR, in #zebrafish  embryos?! Getting #eFISHient for reals!

Love this picture! Transparent and so so small ; pre-hatching at 40h approx post fertilization, less than 3 mm long!

" Our findings thus suggest that Spns1 is critically involved in lysosomal acidification and trafficking during autophagy, and differentially acts in a pathway with Beclin 1 and p53 in the regulation of senescence."

Now we’re talking!

Autophagy AND zebrafish in the same paper makes me a very happy girl!

(Also, totally a PLOS fan obvi!)

"Researchers have created a transgenic zebrafish with skin that fluoresces in thousands of colours — enabling them to track the behaviour of hundreds of individual cells in real time and to see what happens to skin when it is wounded." nature
