Scale invariance in early embryonic development
The body plan of the fruit fly is determined by the expression of just a handful of genes.
Finding the last bits of positional information
In a developing embryo, information about the position of cells is encoded in the concentrations of "morphogen" molecules.
Functional analysis of a gene locus in response to non-canonical combinations of transcription factors
We simultaneously measure the spatiotemporal gap gene concentrations in hemizygous and homozygous gap mutants, and link these to eve activity.
Gene Activity as the Predictive Indicator for Transcriptional Bursting Dynamics
Specifically, we find that the durations of ON and OFF periods are linked.
Structured foraging of soil predators unveils functional responses to bacterial defenses
From these insights we construct a theoretical model that predicts how disturbances to amoeba growth rate and movement disrupt their predation efficiency.
Eukaryotic gene regulation at equilibrium, or non?
The key question is therefore how this space can be navigated efficiently, to focus on mechanisms and models that are biologically relevant.
Transcription-dependent spatial organization of a gene locus
There is growing appreciation that gene function is connected to the dynamic structure of the chromosome.
Trading bits in the readout from a genetic network
We argue that cells in the embryo can extract all the available information about their position, but only if the concentration measurements approach the physical limits to information capacity.
Action at a distance in transcriptional regulation
There is increasing evidence that protein binding to specific sites along DNA can activate the reading out of genetic information without coming into direct physical contact with the gene.
