Rewiring the command neurons in the tactile circuit is sufficient to change the behavioral strategy of a whole animal, implying a 'plug-and-play' flexibility in sensorimotor circuits.

Targeting Atoh1 for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis in sturgeon results in missing electroreceptors as well as mechanosensory hair cells, supporting conserved developmental mechanisms, whereas ectopic electrosensory organs develop after targeting mechanosensory-restricted Foxg1, suggesting FoxG1 directly or indirectly represses electrosensory organ formation.

Sulfation is required for organizing the apical extracellular matrix during tubular organ formation.

An organoid-based screening platform that allows one-gene-at-a-time knockdown across a whole tissue has been used to identify the genes that regulate closure of the neural tube in humans.
