    • Bioelectric Signaling Regulates Size in Zebrafish Fins 

      Perathoner, Simon; Daane, Jacob M.; Henrion, Ulrike; Seebohm, Guiscard; Higdon, Charles W.; Johnson, Stephen L.; Nüsslein-Volhard, Christiane; Harris, Matthew P. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The scaling relationship between the size of an appendage or organ and that of the body as a whole is tightly regulated during animal development. If a structure grows at a different rate than the rest of the body, this ...

    • Genomic Variation and Its Impact on Gene Expression in Drosophila Melanogaster 

      Massouras, Andreas; Waszak, Sebastian M.; Albarca-Aguilera, Monica; Hens, Korneel; Holcombe, Wiebke; Ayroles, Julien; Dermitzakis, Emmanouil T.; Stone, Eric A.; Jensen, Jeffrey D.; Mackay, Trudy F. C.; Deplancke, Bart (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Understanding the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation is one of the great outstanding challenges in biology. To meet this challenge, comprehensive genomic variation maps of human as well as of model ...

    • A Sexually Conditioned Switch of Chemosensory Behavior in C. elegans 

      Sakai, Naoko; Iwata, Ryo; Yokoi, Saori; Butcher, Rebecca A.; Clardy, Jon; Tomioka, Masahiro; Iino, Yuichi (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      In sexually reproducing animals, mating is essential for transmitting genetic information to the next generation and therefore animals have evolved mechanisms for optimizing the chance of successful mate location. In the ...

    • A Spontaneous Mutation in Contactin 1 in the Mouse 

      Davisson, Muriel T.; Bronson, Roderick Terry; Tadenev, Abigail L. D.; Motley, William W.; Krishnaswamy, Arjun Sriram; Seburn, Kevin L.; Burgess, Robert W. (Public Library of Science, 2011)
      Mutations in the gene encoding the immunoglobulin-superfamily member cell adhesion molecule contactin1 (CNTN1) cause lethal congenital myopathy in human patients and neurodevelopmental phenotypes in knockout mice. Whether ...
