It seems to me that in Cell Biology / Development / Genetics the "candidate gene approach" has become pretty much standard. Can anyone direct me to a paper (review, commentary, theory), discussing the basis, and the pros and cons of this approach? Asking for a friend...

It can be a bit disappointing when the mutant is just like the wild-type, but one can look at the bright side, it's just as beautiful as the wild-type. #DevBio #DevelopmentalBiology #CellBiology #CellBio #AsymmetricCellDivision #Celegans #Embryo

🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨
Michael Smutny's lab have a new paper on bioRxiv on the mechanics of the early neural plate. Check it out!

We are delighted to announce yet another addition to the European #DevBio Congress programme.

Art at #EDBC2023!

Oxford delegates will be treated to a Virtual Reality art experience inspired by research on embryonic development http://shapingdestiny.art

Delegates in Barcelona, Paris or online will be treated to a special online art exhibition, more info on that coming soon

This #EMmonday we are focussing on SBF-SEM with a case study from Federica Mangione. Federica and colleagues used SBF-SEM to dissect the cellular assembly of tactile organ of Drosophila, identifying a new cell type, the F-Cell.
