Species-specific sensitivity to TGFβ signaling and changes to the Mmp13 promoter underlie avian jaw development and evolution

The paper identifies species-specific differences in TGFβ signaling and Mmp13 promoter regulation that influence avian jaw development and evolution.

Species-specific deployment of Runx2 isoforms and differential regulation of target genes during avian jaw development and evolution

This study examines how Runx2 isoform structure and expression influence target gene regulation during avian jaw development and evolution.

Stable integration of an optimized inducible promoter system enables spatiotemporal control of gene expression throughout avian development

This paper develops a stable inducible promoter system for precise spatiotemporal control of gene expression in avian embryos.
