Journal ArticleDOI
Shadow Enhancers Foster Robustness of Drosophila Gastrulation
TL;DR: The results suggest that shadow enhancers represent a novel mechanism of canalization whereby complex developmental processes "bring about one definite end-result regardless of minor variations in conditions".
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple enhancers ensure precision of gap gene-expression patterns in the Drosophila embryo
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that every gap gene contains multiple enhancers with overlapping activities to produce authentic patterns of gene expression, and different models for “enhancer synergy,” whereby two enhancersWith overlapping activities produce authentic Patterns of Gene expression are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Engineered orco Mutation Produces Aberrant Social Behavior and Defective Neural Development in Ants

Haight,Majid Ghaninia,Lucy Huo,Michael Perry,Jesse Slone,Xiaofan Zhou,Maria Traficante,Clint A. Penick,Kelly Dolezal,Kaustubh Gokhale,Kelsey Stevens,Ingrid Fetter-Pruneda,Roberto Bonasio,Laurence J. Zwiebel,Shelley L. Berger,Jürgen Liebig,Danny Reinberg,Claude Desplan +24 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the development of genetics in Harpegnathos establishes this ant species as a model organism to study the complexity of eusociality and striking functions of Orco in odorant perception, reproductive physiology, and social behavior plasticity are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancer additivity and non-additivity are determined by enhancer strength in the Drosophila embryo
TL;DR: Quantitative modeling of enhancer–promoter interactions suggests that weakly active enhancers function additively while strong enhancers behave sub-additively due to competition with the target promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural-specific elongation of 3′ UTRs during Drosophila development
Valérie Hilgers,Michael Perry,David A. Hendrix,Alexander Stark,Michael Levine,Benjamin Haley +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that a subset of developmental regulatory genes, enriched in critical RNA-processing factors, exhibits synchronous lengthening of their 3′ UTRs during embryogenesis, suggesting a previously unknown mode of posttranscriptional regulation that may contribute to the complexity of neurogenesis or neural function.
