The rate of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) elongation has an important role in the control of alternative splicing (AS); however, the in vivo consequences of an altered elongation rate are unknown. Here, we generated mouse ...

How signaling gradients supply positional information in a field of moving cells is an unsolved question in patterning and morphogenesis. Here, we ask how a Wnt signaling gradient regulates the dynamics of a wavefront of ...

The development of the cartilaginous and bony elements that form the skull and axial and appendicular skeleton is described in detail for the post-ovipositional embryonic development of the fossorial gymnophthalmid species ...

The stable production of high vigorous seeds regardless of the environment is a key lever to increase crop production. Seed vigor is defined as the sum of the physiological properties that lead to homogenous and vigorous ...

Mammalian preimplantation embryonic development is a complex, conserved, and well orchestrated process involving dynamic molecular and structural changes. Understanding membrane lipid profile fluctuation during this crucial ...

The evolutionary history of the lizard family Gymnophthalmidae is characterized by several independent events of morphological modifications to a snake-like body plan, such as limb reduction, body elongation, loss of ...
