In this issue of Cell, Sparrow et al. propose a new mechanism for sporadically occurring congenital scoliosis in which Notch signaling and hypoxia converge in the embryo on somite patterning via the segmentation clock. This interaction between hypoxia and ...
The study of genorne rearrangement is much harder than the corresponding problems on DNA and protein sequences, because of the occurrences of numerous combinatorial structures. By explicitly exploring these combinatorial structures, the recently developed ...
The experimental determination of transcriptional regulatory networks in the laboratory remains difficult and time-consuming, while computational methods to infer these networks provide only modest accuracy. The latter can be attributed partly to the limit ...
Coordinated expression of HoxD cluster genes is crucial for the emergence and patterning of both developing digits and external genitalia. As a shared evolutionary origin has been proposed for these secondary structures, which may have accompanied the tran ...
The rapid accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequence ...
Large-scale sequencing of genomes has enabled the inference of phylogenies based on the evolution of genomic architecture, under such events as rearrangements, duplications, and losses. Many evolutionary models and associated algorithms have been designed ...
While the pro-differentiation and tumour suppressive functions of Notch signalling in keratinocytes are well established, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We report here that interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6), an IRF family member wi ...

In animals, pigment cells are essential for coloration, as seen in feathers, fur, skin and eyes. In mammals, neural crest-derived melanocytes constitute the major population of pigment cells that is located mainly in the skin epidermis, as well as in hair ...
