Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Genes Linked with Orthodontic Issues and the Knowledge Gaps in This Association
Orthodontics is the study of malpositioned teeth and jaws. Some commonly found orthodontic issues are malocclusions, mandibular prognathism, retrognathism, and facial asymmetry. These issues are associated with several genetic factors.

Genomic characterization of Gli-activator targets in sonic hedgehog-mediated neural patterning [PDF]
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) acts as a morphogen to mediate the specification of distinct cell identities in the ventral neural tube through a Gli-mediated (Gli1-3) transcriptional network.

Novel PAX9 Mutations Causing Isolated Oligodontia
Hypodontia, i.e., missing one or more teeth, is a relatively common human disease; however, oligodontia, i.e., missing six or more teeth, excluding the third molars, is a rare congenital disorder. Many genes have been shown to cause oligodontia in non-syndromic or syndromic conditions.

Compartmentalised expression of in epithelial somites is required for the formation of intervertebral joints [PDF]
Expression of the mouse Delta-like 1 (Dll1) gene in the presomitic mesoderm and in the caudal halves of somites of the developing embryo is required for the formation of epithelial somites and for the maintenance of caudal somite identity, respectively ...

Modulation of social behavior by the agouti pigmentation gene [PDF]
Agouti is a secreted neuropeptide that acts as an endogenous antagonist of melanocortin receptors. Mice and rats lacking agouti (called non-agouti) have dark fur due to a disinhibition of melanocortin signaling and pigment deposition in the hair follicle.
