    Intergenerational transport of double-stranded RNA in C. elegans can limit heritable epigenetic changes

    Nathan M Shugarts Devanapally, Aishwarya Sathya ... Antony M Jose
    Transport of double-stranded RNA from parental circulation to progeny using the transmembrane protein SID-1 can occur through multiple routes during C. elegans development and buffer heritable changes in gene expression.

    Genome-wide analysis of Smad and Schnurri transcription factors in C. elegans demonstrates widespread interaction and a function in collagen secretion

    Mehul Vora, Jonathan Dietz ... Cathy Savage-Dunn
    Smad and Schnurri transcription factors engage in context-dependent interactions as well as independent genomic activities, leading to regulation of collagen secretion to mediate body size regulation in C. elegans.
