Jointed tails enhance control of three-dimensional body rotation Open
Tails used as inertial appendages induce body rotations of animals and robots—a phenomenon that is governed largely by the ratio of the body and tail moments of inertia. However, vertebrate tails have more degrees of freedom (e.g. number o…

Cellular and molecular mechanisms that shape the development and evolution of tail vertebral proportion in mice and jerboas Open
Despite the functional importance of the vertebral skeleton, little is known about how individual vertebrae elongate or achieve disproportionate lengths as in the giraffe neck. Rodent tails are an abundantly diverse and more tractable syst…

Meiotic Cas9 expression mediates gene conversion in the male and female mouse germline Open
Highly efficient gene conversion systems have the potential to facilitate the study of complex genetic traits using laboratory mice and, if implemented as a “gene drive,” to limit loss of biodiversity and disease transmission caused by wil…

Sex determination without sex chromosomes Open
With or without sex chromosomes, sex determination is a synthesis of many molecular events that drives a community of cells towards a coordinated tissue fate. In this review, we will consider how a sex determination pathway can be engaged …
