Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of scribble (Scrb1) causes severe neural tube defects in the circletail mouse

TL;DR: The identification of the Crc gene further defines the nature of the genetic pathway required for the initiation of neural tube closure and provides an important new candidate that may be implicated in the aetiology of human NTDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

An N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea screen for genes involved in variegation in the mouse

TL;DR: The findings raise the possibility that the presence or absence of the X chromosome in mammals affects the establishment of the epigenetic state at autosomal loci by acting as a sink for proteins involved in gene silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of Atrx Affects Trophoblast Development and the Pattern of X-Inactivation in Extraembryonic Tissues

TL;DR: An unexpected, specific, and essential role for Atrx in the development of the murine trophoblast is demonstrated and an example of escape from imprinted X chromosome inactivation is presented.
