Genetically encoded affinity reagents (GEARs): A toolkit for visualizing and manipulating endogenous protein function in vivo.

This paper introduces GEARs, a toolkit for visualizing and manipulating endogenous proteins in vivo, demonstrating its use with Nanog and Vangl2 in zebrafish.

Synergistic activity of Nanog, Pou5f3, and Sox19b establishes chromatin accessibility and developmental competence in a context-dependent manner

This study shows that Nanog, Pou5f3, and Sox19b work together in a context-dependent way to establish chromatin accessibility and developmental competence in zebrafish embryos.

Isolating mitotic and meiotic germ cells from male mice by developmental synchronization, staging, and sorting

This paper introduces a method to isolate high-purity populations of male germ cells from mice by synchronizing development, staging, and sorting, achieving ~90% purity at each developmental step.
