Development
From fly to flower
In this composite image, visual artist Mona Kakanj assembled three different biological structures in fly larvae into a flower. The original images were taken as part of a research project by Parisa Kakanj in Maria Leptin’s group.…
Tracing the origins of cells
Researchers from the Sharpe group at EMBL Barcelona have published a method to track the developmental history of a cell using the gene editing tool CRISPR–Cas9, but without the need to create transgenic organisms.…
How chromosome structure influences development
EMBL researchers in the Heard group at EMBL Heidelberg explore the interaction between DNA organisation and gene expression in the early embryo…
Tissue dynamics provide clues to human disease
EMBL scientists examine the molecular causes of a rare hereditary disease of the spine and ribs…
Breathe in, breathe out
This image shows the tracheal system of a live fruit fly larva. Daniel Rios from the Leptin Group and Dimitri Kromm from the Hufnagel Group used this advanced microscope to investigate the dynamics of tracheal cells during development.…
Pinpointing rare disease mutations
New resource that categorises genes essential for supporting life could be used to identify rare disease mutations…
