    Kinetic sculpting of the seven stripes of the Drosophila even-skipped gene

    Augusto Berrocal, Nicholas C Lammers ... Michael B Eisen
    Live quantitative monitoring of transcriptional bursting reveals that enhancers responding to different regulators use the same kinetic strategy to produce a complex composite pattern of developmental expression.

    Female-biased upregulation of insulin pathway activity mediates the sex difference in Drosophila body size plasticity

    Jason W Millington, George P Brownrigg ... Elizabeth J Rideout
    The ability to adjust body size in response to diet is greater in Drosophila females than males because of a sex difference in the nutrient-dependent regulation of the insulin pathway.

    Pancreatic progenitor epigenome maps prioritize type 2 diabetes risk genes with roles in development

    Ryan J Geusz, Allen Wang ... Maike Sander
    Analysis of epigenome maps from human pancreatic progenitors and functional validation in zebrafish identify LAMA1 and CRB2 as type 2 diabetes risk-associated genes with roles in pancreatic development.

    Celsr1 adhesive interactions mediate the asymmetric organization of planar polarity complexes

    Sara N Stahley, Lena P Basta ... Danelle Devenport
    Planar cell polarity protein Celsr1 clusters into punctate assemblies through lateral cis-interactions to function as an organizer of intercellular Frizzled6 and Vangl2 asymmetry.

    Antagonism between germ cell-less and Torso receptor regulates transcriptional quiescence underlying germline/soma distinction

    Megan M Colonnetta, Lauren R Lym ... Girish Deshpande
    A molecular duel between germline and somatic determinants ensures proper establishment of transcriptional quiescence in the primordial germ cells of early Drosophila embryos.

    Achieving functional neuronal dendrite structure through sequential stochastic growth and retraction

    André Ferreira Castro, Lothar Baltruschat ... Hermann Cuntz
    An optimal wire and function trade-off emerges from noisy growth and stochastic retraction during Drosophila class I ventral posterior dendritic arborisation (c1vpda) dendrite development.

    The ESCRT machinery regulates retromer-dependent transcytosis of septate junction components in Drosophila

    Hendrik Pannen, Tim Rapp, Thomas Klein
    A novel role of endosomal machineries retromer and ESCRT in membrane delivery of Drosophila septate junction components is required for maintenance of junction integrity and epithelial barrier function.
