A developmental biologist who investigated the temporal and spatial control of Hox gene expression, using genomic rearrangements to separate regulatory effects.[ref]
Uncoupling time and space in the collinear regulation of Hox genes by Patrick Tschopp and others. Authorship and experimental findings
A developmental biologist who studied how changes in chromatin contacts connect Hox gene regulation to different regulatory domains during limb development.[ref]
A switch between topological domains underlies HoxD genes collinearity in mouse limbs by Guillaume Andrey and others. Authorship and experimental findings
A developmental biologist who investigated how exit from pluripotency coordinates epithelial morphogenesis in mouse and human embryos.[ref]
Pluripotent state transitions coordinate morphogenesis in mouse and human embryos by Marta N. Shahbazi and others. Authorship and experimental findings
A developmental biologist who used imaging and lineage labels to investigate intercalation of embryonic and extraembryonic contributions during mouse endoderm formation.[ref]
The endoderm of the mouse embryo arises by dynamic widespread intercalation of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages by Gloria S. Kwon and others. Authorship and experimental findings
A developmental biologist who tested shared developmental mechanisms of branchial arches and paired fins, comparing the effects of developmental signals rather than relying only on adult resemblance.[ref]
A shared role for sonic hedgehog signalling in patterning chondrichthyan gill arch appendages and tetrapod limbs by J. Andrew Gillis and Brian K. Hall. Authorship and experimental findings
A developmental biologist who investigated shared signaling mechanisms in branchial arch appendages and tetrapod limbs, connecting developmental biology to hypotheses of biological homology.[ref]
A shared role for sonic hedgehog signalling in patterning chondrichthyan gill arch appendages and tetrapod limbs by J. Andrew Gillis and Brian K. Hall. Authorship and experimental findings
A developmental biologist who investigated shared developmental mechanisms in median and paired fins, testing how older patterning systems can be redeployed during evolution.[ref]
Evidence that mechanisms of fin development evolved in the midline of early vertebrates by Renata Freitas and others. Authorship and experimental findings
Researcher in developmental cell migration. Carmona-Fontaine and collaborators studied contact inhibition of locomotion in neural crest migration, connecting cell collisions with directional tissue movement.[ref]
Researcher in cancer invasion. Cheung and collaborators investigated collective invasion in breast cancer, connecting a basal epithelial program with the coordinated movement of tumor cells.[ref]
Researcher in cellular evolution. With David A. Baum, Baum proposed an inside-out account of the origin of the eukaryotic cell, using cell organization to formulate a testable evolutionary hypothesis.[ref]
An inside-out origin for the eukaryotic cell by David A. Baum and Buzz Baum. Title, author list and reported study
A botanist whose research connects plant diversity with evolution and phylogenetics. His research also investigates how evolution can begin in chemical systems before genetic encoding, using theoretical models and experiments on chemical mixtures.[ref]
https://biophysics.wisc.edu/staff/baum-david/. University of Wisconsin–Madison, authored research description
A botanist who investigated desiccation tolerance in tropical fern gametophytes, linking a free-living life stage to ecological and evolutionary differences.[ref]
A botanist who investigated how SEPALLATA genes contribute to floral organ identity, testing how combinations of regulators specify structure.[ref]
A botanist who tested the function of a gymnosperm floral-gene relative by expressing it in Arabidopsis thaliana.[ref]
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
