    • Dissecting the pan-placodal gene regulatory network reveals novel interactions driving sense organ development in vertebrates 

      Riddiford, Nick (2016-02-17)
      The genes encoding the transcription factor Six1, and its co-factor Eya1 together mark the embryonic territory - the pan-placodal ectoderm (PPE) - that gives rise to most cranial sense organs in vertebrates. Mutation of ...

    • Dissecting the pre-placodal transcriptome to reveal presumptive direct targets of six1 and eya1 in cranial placodes 

      Riddiford, Nick; Schlosser, Gerhard (eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2016-08-31)
      The pre-placodal ectoderm, marked by the expression of the transcription factor Six1 and its co-activator Eya1, develops into placodes and ultimately into many cranial sensory organs and ganglia. Using RNA-Seq in Xenopus ...

    • The genomes of four tapeworm species reveal adaptations to parasitism

      Tapeworms (Cestoda) cause neglected diseases that can be fatal and are difficult to treat, owing to inefficient drugs. Here we present an analysis of tapeworm genome sequences using the human-infective species Echinococcus ...
