Antirrhinum flower shape: unravelling gene expression across developmental axes and boundaries

This study identifies gene regulatory modules involved in Antirrhinum flower shape development by analyzing gene expression patterns along developmental axes and boundaries.

Optogenetic control of the Bicoid morphogen reveals fast and slow modes of gap gene regulation

The paper uses optogenetic control of Bicoid to study gap gene regulation dynamics in embryos, revealing both known and novel regulatory relationships.

DeepArk: modeling cis-regulatory codes of model species with deep learning

DeepArk uses deep learning to model cis-regulatory codes in four model species, accurately predicting regulatory features and variant impacts.

The nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio directly regulates zygotic transcription in Drosophila through multiple modalities

This study shows that the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio regulates zygotic transcription in Drosophila through multiple mechanisms, independent of cell cycle length.
