PMID: 36449319
Duplicated genes have long been appreciated as both substrates and catalysts of evolutionary processes. From even the simplest cell to complex multicellular animals and plants, duplicated genes have made immeasurable...

BMC Biol
. 2021 Mar;
19(1):59.
PMID: 33766022
Background: Evidence of global heterochromatin decay and aberrant gene expression in models of physiological and premature ageing have long supported the "heterochromatin loss theory of ageing", which proposes that ageing...

. 2020 Jan;
461(1):31-42.
PMID: 31923384
Strikingly, epithelial morphogenesis remains incomplete at the end of C. elegans embryonic development; newly hatched larvae undergo extensive remodelling of their ventral epidermis during the first larval stage (L1), when...

Development
. 2019 Nov;
146(22).
PMID: 31740621
A correct balance between proliferative and asymmetric cell divisions underlies normal development, stem cell maintenance and tissue homeostasis. What determines whether cells undergo symmetric or asymmetric cell division is poorly...

J Dev Biol
. 2019 Oct;
7(4).
PMID: 31569401
Comparative developmental biology and comparative genomics are the cornerstones of evolutionary developmental biology. Decades of fruitful research using nematodes have produced detailed accounts of the developmental and genomic variation in...

PMID: 30653842
Canalization, an intrinsic robustness of development to external (environmental) or internal (genetic) perturbations, was first proposed over half a century ago. However, whether the robustness to environmental stress (environmental canalization...

PMID: 29108019
Biological systems are subject to inherent stochasticity. Nevertheless, development is remarkably robust, ensuring the consistency of key phenotypic traits such as correct cell numbers in a certain tissue. It is...
