roque

Helio Roque and colleagues describe that flies lacking MKS, a component of the transition zone in cilia, show abnormalities during development, but not in the adult.

 

liu

Hua Liu and  Ken-Ichi Nonomura describe large scale chromatin remodelling in meiosis I of rice mediated by the Argonaute protein MEL1

 

devos

In their Commentary, Damien Devos and colleagues explore changing concepts in the emergence of eukaryotic cells, and in his Editorial, Editor-in-Chief Michael Way announces a forthcoming special issue on plants

DMM025874*009-11*cov.sugg

Gabrielle Kardon and colleagues show that TBX3 is responsible for specifying a subset of forelimb muscles, and their attachment to tendons.

 

spot

Nicholas Pilon and colleagues describe how a mouse line found in a screen for genes involved in neural crest development provides a model for Waardenburg syndrome type 4.

 

bingle

Colin Bingle and colleagues develop an in vitro model of the murine middle ear epithelium, recapitulating cell populations and protein production.

 

cagan

In his Editorial, Senior Editor Ross Cagan gives some tips for those wanting to conduct drug screening in model systems

rooij

Johan de Rooij and colleagues disrupted αE-catenin function in developing zebrafish, and found that specifically disrupting αE-catenin mechnotransduction leads to defective convergence and extension.

 

volk

Elly Ordan and Talila Volk describe how Amontillado, the Drosophila homologue of pheremone convertase 2, cleaves Slit to promote muscle patterning.

 

stress

Ernesto Maldonado and colleagues show that zebrafish mutants lacking stress granules have developmental abnormalities and respond poorly to stress.

 

Journal typography

Manfred Schartl and colleagues explore how the fish genome adapts to abrupt ploidy change by allele silencing.

 

Karl Gotthard and colleagues explore how butterflies regulate energy and lipid metabolism during diapause.
