Deciphering the underlying mechanism of specification and differentiation: the sea urchin gene regulatory networkSmadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Sci STKE 2006:pe47. 2006..It demonstrates how the static physical genomic components define functional connections between the various regulatory genes that act together to conduct the dynamical developmental program...
Gene regulation: gene control network in developmentSmadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA
Annu Rev Biophys Biomol Struct 36:191. 2007....
Modeling the dynamics of transcriptional gene regulatory networks for animal developmentSmadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology 156 29, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Dev Biol 325:317-28. 2009..Model simulations display the effects of mutation of binding sites, or perturbation of upstream gene expression. The model is a generally useful tool for understanding gene regulation and the dynamics of cell fate specification...
Information processing at the foxa node of the sea urchin endomesoderm specification networkSmadar Ben Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology 156 29, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:10103-8. 2010..This study shed light on the mesoderm-endoderm fate decision and provides a functional explanation, in terms of the genomic regulatory code, for the spatial and temporal expression of a key developmental control gene...
Perturbation analysis analyzed--athematical modeling of intact and perturbed gene regulatory circuits for animal developmentSmadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology 156 29, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Dev Biol 344:1110-8. 2010..The model improves our ability to analyze experimental data and construct from it the network topology. The model also illuminates information processing properties of gene regulatory circuits for animal development...
The conserved role and divergent regulation of foxa, a pan-eumetazoan developmental regulatory geneSmadar Ben Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, 91125, USA
Dev Biol 357:21-6. 2011..foxa transcriptional regulation had evolved to support the developmental program in each species so foxa would play its role controlling morphogenesis at the necessary embryonic address...
Experimentally based sea urchin gene regulatory network and the causal explanation of developmental phenomenologySmadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
Division of Biology 156 29, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Wiley Interdiscip Rev Syst Biol Med 1:237-46. 2009..The experimentally based gene regulatory network for endomesoderm specification in the sea urchin embryo provides unique insights into the system level properties of cell fate specification and its evolution...
