CONCLUSIONS:

To promote the best science being done, we need to look at the incentives of science publishing and funding. Long-term funding produces better science. Short-term and topical agendas encourages irreproducibility.

Funding model organisms generates science we can build on! πŸͺ°πŸͺ±πŸ¦ πŸ πŸπŸΈ

Danio rerio genome assembly GRCz12tu - Danio rerio

A new #zebrafish reference genome assembly (GRCz12tu) has been posted at GenBank! Special thanks to @burgesslab.bsky.social, NCBI, and the GRC for their immeasurable work πŸ”₯ It is not yet annotated, but that will be forthcoming. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen... h/t Monte Westerfield on ZR!

Very important work #epigenomics, as we almost never image the cells when performing CnR/CnT experiments
