The paper tests a putative cis-regulatory element near Shox2 in jerboas to see if it affects mouse limb bone length, finding no detectable phenotype.

This paper uses CRISPR-mediated conditional mutagenesis to show BMP/GDF signaling restricts postnatal bone overgrowth by regulating both periosteal and endosteal osteoblasts.

The paper investigates how vertebrae elongate differently in mice and jerboas to achieve disproportionate tail lengths, identifying NPR3 as a key regulator of skeletal proportion.

The paper identifies gene expression differences in jerboa hindfoot muscle loss by comparing intra- and inter-species muscle data, revealing pathways linked to muscle atrophy and potential parallels with human muscle disorders.

This study shows that meiotic Cas9 expression can mediate genotype conversion in both male and female mouse germlines, but low Cas9 levels limit efficiency.

The paper investigates the developmental loss of foot muscles in jerboas, finding muscle atrophy without cell death, suggesting evolutionary remodeling through disease-like mechanisms.

The paper identifies genes controlling limb skeletal proportion differences between mouse and jerboa by comparing transcriptomes of growth cartilages and finding species-specific expression patterns.

This paper demonstrates that CRISPR/Cas9 can mediate super-Mendelian inheritance in female mouse germline through homology-directed repair.
