This study identifies a maternal-effect mutation in Xenopus wnt11b and shows it affects cortical rotation and axis formation without involving Wnt coreceptors or Dishevelled.

The paper builds a genome-scale gene regulatory network for vertebrate mesendoderm development using multi-omic data integration and validates novel transcription factor interactions.

This paper generates a six1-null line in Xenopus tropicalis using CRISPR/Cas9 to study development and congenital disease.

The paper identifies Sox17 and β-catenin interactions at enhancers that regulate endoderm gene expression and repression of mesectoderm fates during Xenopus gastrulation.
