Vertebrates harbor recognizably orthologous gene complements but vary 100-fold in genome size. How chromosomal organization scales with expansion is unclear, and how acute changes regulation, as during axolotl limb regeneration, occur the context of a vast has remained riddle. Here, we describe chromosome-scale assembly giant, 32 Gb genome. Hi-C contact data revealed scaling properties interphase mitotic chromosome organization. Analysis yielded understanding evolution large, syntenic...

Axolotls can regenerate lost limbs throughout their lives, while they continue to grow. This poses the question of how size and pattern a regenerating limb is matched widely varying animal size. Two interacting signaling molecules, SHH FGF8, are produced at opposite sides sustain tissue growth through pair oppositely-oriented gradients. As regrowing vary more than three-fold depending on animal, it unclear activities these mutually dependent morphogens maintained subsequently terminated...
The expression of fibroblast growth factors (Fgf) ligands in a specialized epithelial compartment, the Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER), is conserved feature limb development across vertebrate species. In vertebrates, Fgf 4, 8, 9, and 17 are all expressed AER.
