A single amino acid change in a neuronal ion channel called KCNQ2 blocks ion flow, prevents protein localization on axons, and results in severe epilepsy and slowed neurological development.

During Drosophila primordial germ cells (PGCs) specification, the centrosome and germplasm are subject to regulation, during the maternal zygotic transition, by Caspar/TER94-dependent degradative pathways that influence PGC determinants.

Drosophila melanogastereven-skipped enhancers control transcriptional bursting by modulating frequency and amplitude, regardless of varying transcription factor inputs, even when mutated to express in embryonic regions not under selective pressure.

An encompassing resource of differentially phosphorylated proteins forms the basis for identifying missing links in cell fate determination and morphogenesis, including, for example, microtubules as mediators of different functions in cells along the dorso-ventral axis.
