This study uses 3D in vitro models to investigate centriole and cilium formation in early mouse embryogenesis, showing their dispensability in some models and importance in others.

This study shows SPT5 regulates Pol II pausing and elongation differently in early and late Drosophila embryogenesis, affecting gene expression dynamics.

The paper shows that enhancer cooperativity can compensate for reduced activity over large genomic distances by introducing weak enhancers between strong enhancers and promoters.

The paper shows TADs form during zygotic genome activation in Drosophila embryos without CTCF, BEAF-32, or CP190, but these factors have locus-specific roles in boundary insulation.

The paper shows that Irf1, controlled by the formative pluripotency network, regulates ISG expression and Oct6 in formative pluripotent cells.
