Brittle Star Gene Mapping Reveals Evolutionary Origins of Echinoderm Body Architecture
High-resolution hybridization mapping in the brittle star Amphipholis squamata shows that ancestral bilateral head-patterning programs govern the radial arms of ...
Posterior Hox Gene Expression Explains Appendage Divergence in Tarantulas and True Spiders
Comparative embryonic mapping reveals that divergent regulation of duplicated posterior Hox genes underlies the specialized reduction and modification of opisthosomal ...
Springtail Hox Protein Reveals Evolutionary Middle Ground in Losing Abdominal Limbs
A study of the springtail Folsomia candida shows that its Ubx protein binds and represses the appendage gene Dll like ...
Zebrafish Genome’s Extra Duplicated Genes Reveal Hidden Rules of Gene Function
A review argues that zebrafish's extra round of whole genome duplication 350 million years ago created duplicated gene pairs whose ...
Imbalanced MYC and MAX Levels Rewire Cell Identity in the Developing Fly Eye
A Drosophila study shows that an elevated Myc-to-Max ratio, rather than absolute MYC abundance, switches eye progenitors toward a wing ...
Ancient Hox9–10 genes reveal the hidden origins of vertebrate hind fins and limbs
Hox9–10 genes act at the earliest stages of pelvic fin and hindlimb development in zebrafish and newts, revealing a conserved ...
Worm Study Reveals How Hox Genes Steer Migrating Neurons Through a Web of Guidance Signals
New research in C. elegans shows that Ephrin, Robo, Netrin, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan signaling converge on a single Hox-dependent ...
Hidden Genome Folds Silence Two Tumor-Suppressing Genes in Aggressive Breast Cancer
Researchers have discovered that DNA methylation evicts the architectural protein CTCF from the HOXD locus, collapsing a chromatin loop that ...
