The Drosophila gap gene network is composed of two parallel toggle switches. [PDF]
Drosophila "gap" genes provide the first response to maternal gradients in the early fly embryo. Gap genes are expressed in a series of broad bands across the embryo during first hours of development.

Switching and Diffusion Models for Gene Regulation Networks [PDF]
We analyze a hierarchy of three regimes for modeling gene regulation. The most complete model is a continuous time, discrete state space, Markov jump process. An intermediate 'switch plus diffusion' model takes the form of a stochastic differential equation driven by an independent continuous time Markov switch. In the third 'switch plus ODE' model the

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Non-functional immunoglobulin G transcripts in a case of hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome similar to type 4 [PDF]
86% of immunoglobulin G (IgG) heavy-chain gene transcripts were found to be non-functional in the peripheral blood B cells of a patient initially diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency, who later developed raised IgM, whereas no non-functionally

Dimorphic plant and human mycopathogens require a switch from the usual yeast growth to filamentous growth for host tissue penetration, and the switch is controlled by multiple signaling systems other than the central developmental pathway.

The human gut microbiome across the life course
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

With Genes like that who needs an Environment? Postgenomics' argument for the 'Ontogeny of Information' [PDF]
The linear sequence specification of a gene product is not provided by the target DNA sequence alone but by the mechanisms of gene expressions. The main actors of these mechanisms, proteins and functional RNAs, relay environmental information to the ...

Chronicles of a switch hunt: gcm genes in development
Co-conservation of sequence and function is an important principle during evolution. As a consequence, sequence-related genes often have similar functions in evolutionarily distant species. Enter the 'glial cells missing' (gcm) genes.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Distinct transcriptome and traits of freshly dispersed Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells
Bacteria assume two distinct lifestyles: the planktonic and biofilm modes of growth. Additionally, dispersion has emerged as a third phenotype, accompanied by the distinct phenotypes and the unique expression of >600 genes.
