We're interested in the relationship between gene activity and phenotypic outcomes after challenges like genetic mutations, chromatin disruption and infection.

Someone on Mastodon recently posted about issues they've seen with #zebrafish annotation in recent #Ensembl versions, so we wrote down some of what we've noticed. The TL;DR version is that we are just using Ensembl 109's annotation, including for enrichment analyses.

The final version of our new article is out @DMM_Journal! We analysed the transcriptome of Shigella flexneri infection in zebrafish larvae and discovered Shigella-inducible factors involved in controlling host susceptibility. doi.org/10.1242/dmm.050431

Do you have a cool idea for a genetic screen in #zebrafish or are you interested in robustness during development? Get in touch to discuss this #postdoc fellowship call rea.ec.europa.eu/funding-and… @QMUL @QM_SBBS
If you were thinking of registering but haven't had time then we have good news - you've now got until next Friday. Come and join us as we return to the lovely Wellcome Genome Campus for four days of zebrafish bioinformatics and functional genomics.

Super happy to have this story up @biorxivpreprint with @stevewilsonlab. Allele-specific expression can mess with your mutant #RNAseq, always check genomic location of DE genes! #zebrafish
