Have you ever wondered why developmental genes are often regulated by enhancers located at long distances? In this @natgenet.nature.com perspective, we speculate that long-range enhancer positioning may provide regulatory properties essential for proper gene expression www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In this Obituary, Francesca Mariani & Mark Lewandoski write about Gail R. Martin, one of developmental biology's most influential conceptual architects, a scientist who reshaped how we think about signalling, pattern formation & genetic analysis in the mouse. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Gail R. Martin, PhD (1944–2026), a Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Foreign Member of the Royal Society, was a recipient of the E. G. Conklin Medal (2002) and the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize (2007). She served as Professor for nearly 50 years at the University of California, San Francisco and subsequently as Professor Emerita.
