Journal ArticleDOI

A gene-centered C. elegans protein-DNA interaction network

TL;DR: This work uses "gene-centered" high-throughput yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) assays to identify 283 interactions between 72 C. elegans digestive tract gene promoters and 117 proteins, and provides functional annotations for approximately 10% of all worm TFs and finds ten novel putative TFs, illustrating the power of a gene-centered approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Model systems for regeneration: salamanders

TL;DR: The evolutionary context in which salamanders emerged is covered, and the varieties of mechanisms deployed during salamander regeneration are outlined, and how these mechanisms are currently being explored and how they have advanced the understanding of animal regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fgf-signaling is compartmentalized within the mesenchyme and controls proliferation during salamander limb development.

TL;DR: Investigation of how Sonic hedgehog and Fibroblast growth factor signaling regulate limb development in the axolotl found that Shh-expressing cells contributed to the most posterior digit, and that inhibiting ShH-signaling inhibited Fgf8 expression, anteroposterior patterning, and distal cell proliferation.
