- Reposted by Giulia BoezioWant to come do a postdoc with us? We’re interested in how sensorimotor function is carried out by the cells and circuits of the spinal cord. We have an awesome team, lots of cool techniques, and we’re open to new ideas/approaches/connections. Get in touch!

- The Question: We know the spinal cord has 11 molecularly distinct progenitor domains generating distinct neurons, but how are these linked by actual LINEAGE relationships? When do progenitors commit to specific cardinal neuron fates, and how early is that commitment resolved?
- We adapted LARRY (Lineage And RNA RecoverY) barcoding for chick embryos & human spinal cord explants. We tracked ~1,500 clones simultaneously capturing single-cell transcriptomes - linking cell identity to lineage. [Barcode sharing between mature cell types = same origin/one labelled progenitor]
