We generated a transcriptome from developmental stages of the annelid Platynereis dumerilii using the Iso-Seq method from PacBio, which outputs full-length transcripts and resolved isoforms. The dataset is now available on Zenodo: Vellutini, B. C., Handberg-Thorsager, M. & Tomancak, P. (2024). Platynereis dumerilii full-length transcriptome of developmental stages. doi:10.5281/zenodo.14250773 The transcriptome was used for the […]
Nikon Small World has announced the winners of this year’s photomicrography competition. My image of a drain fly embryo made it to the Images of Distinction category!
Our brachiopod Wnt paper has been peer-reviewed, was accepted, and is now published in BMC Biology! The article is open-access: Vellutini, B. C., Martín-Durán, J. M., Børve, A. & Hejnol, A. Combinatorial Wnt signaling landscape during brachiopod anteroposterior patterning. BMC Biol. 22, 1–23 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-024-01988-w
I recently finished the revision of our paper about the Wnt signaling landscape in brachiopod development. This is work from my PhD time in the Hejnol Lab in Norway. We posted it on bioRxiv last September, and sent to a journal later that year. Following the reviewers’ feedback, we added new data, made significant improvements […]

The pipetting marathon I went through the other day was worth it—the experiment worked! Now I get to image some exciting and colorful samples in the confocal microscope, and experience that thrill of seeing something for the first time, once again 🌈🔬
Visualizing the dynamics of gene expression patterns over time is a challenge. But this is a nice way.
Small note to say that our paper about the brachiopod Wnt landscape is now online on bioRxiv! Vellutini BC, Martín-Durán JM, Børve A, and Hejnol A (2023). Combinatorial Wnt signaling landscape during brachiopod anteroposterior patterning. https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.09.03.556047
