Cooperation of Sall4 and Sox8 transcription factors in the regulation of the chicken Sox3 gene during otic placode development
To elucidate the transcriptional regulation that underlies specification of the otic placode, we investigated the Sox3 downstream enhancer Otic1 of the chicken, the activity of which is restricted to and distributed across the entire otic placode. The 181‐bp Otic1 enhancer sequence was dissected into a 68‐bp minimal activating sequence, which exhibited dimer enhancer activity in the otic placode and cephalic neural crest, and this was further reduced to a 25‐bp Otic1 core sequence, which also showed octamer enhancer activity in the same regions. The Otic1 core octamer was activated by the combined action of Sall4 and...

Issue Information
Cover Photograph: A photo of a paper quilling art of a chick embryo. The exhibition, ‘The Amazing Journey from Egg to Adult’, was held during 4 April to 11 June, 2017, at the National Museum of Nature and Science, to memorize the 50th anniversary of the Japanese Society of Developmental Biologists. Key visuals of the exhibition were chick embryos. The paper quilling art was created by Hiroko Uchida to memorize the Key Visual, and photographed by Hiroki Higashiyama, The University of Tokyo (see Takahashi and Takeda).

Identifying co ‐opted transposable elements using comparative epigenomics
The human genome gives rise to different epigenomic landscapes that define each cell type and can be deregulated in disease. Recent efforts by ENCODE, the NIH Roadmap and the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) have made significant advances towards assembling reference epigenomic maps of various tissues. Notably, these projects have found that approximately 80% of human DNA was biochemically active in at least one epigenomic assay while only approximately 10% of the sequence displayed signs of purifying selection. Given that transposable elements (TEs) make up at least 50% of the human genome and can be active...

Ripply3 is required for the maintenance of epithelial sheets in the morphogenesis of pharyngeal pouches
In this study, we found that the expression of mouse Ripply3 was specifically activated in accordance with the bending of the endodermal epithelium during the pouch formation. In Ripply3‐deficient embryos, a continuous monolayer of the endodermal epithelium was not maintained posterior to the 2nd pharyngeal pouch. Corresponding to the endodermal region of the deformed epithelium, the activated form of Integrin β1, which was localized at the basal side of the epithelial cells in the wild‐type embryos, was not persistently observed in the mutants. On the other hand, cell proliferation and apoptotic cell death in the end...
