Richard Harland Awarded 2014 Conklin Medal

Dr. Harland discovered that BMP antagonists are fundamental for the patterning of early germ layers. His research also expands our knowledge of neural induction and patterning, FGF signaling, planar cell colarity, and the developmental control of RNA splicing.

Christopher Wylie and Janet Heasman Honored with SDB Lifetime Achievement Award

Wylie and Heasman are being honored for their outstanding and sustained research and mentoring contributions to the field of developmental biology.

CRISPr/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis in Xenopus

In back-to-back articles published in genesis, Blitz et al. and Nakayama et al. each report CRISPr/Cas targeted transgenesis works well in Xenopus tropicalis.

Par3 controls neural crest migration by promoting microtubule catastrophe during contact inhibition by locomotion

Moore et al. report the requirement for par3 to regulate cellular microtuble breakdown as neural crest cells migrate.
