Epidermal cell fusion promotes the transition from an embryonic to a larval transcriptome in C. elegans

Owen H. Funk, Daniel L. Levy, David S. Fay

The paper shows that cell fusion in C. elegans epidermis drives transcriptomic changes from embryonic to larval state, with eff-1 mutants showing delayed progression.

Pathways that affect anterior morphogenesis in C. elegans embryos

Boopathi Balasubramaniam, Irini Topalidou, Melissa Kelley…·David S. Fay

The paper identifies new proteins involved in apical ECM biology in C. elegans and shows SYM-3/FAM102A and SYM-4/WDR44 function in trafficking but not ECM protein deposition.

Postmitotic accumulation of histone variant H3.3 in new cortical neurons establishes neuronal chromatin, transcriptome, and identity

Owen H. Funk, Yaman Qalieh, Daniel Z. Doyle…·Kenneth Y. Kwan

This study shows that de novo accumulation of H3.3 in postmitotic neurons is essential for establishing neuronal chromatin, transcriptome, and identity, distinct from its role in long-term histone maintenance.

Chromatin remodeler Arid1a regulates subplate neuron identity and wiring of cortical connectivity

Daniel Z. Doyle, Mandy M. S. Lam, Adel Qalieh…·Kenneth Y. Kwan

This study shows that Arid1a is essential for subplate neuron function and cortical connectivity, with its loss causing axon miswiring and corpus callosum agenesis.
