Kumar lab on the cover of Development

Tuesday, April 17, 2018

Development journal cover, volume 145(7) April 2018.

The paper “Polycomb group (PcG) proteins and Pax6 cooperate to inhibit in vivo reprogramming of the developing Drosophila eye” was selected for the cover of Development.

Within this paper researchers in the Kumar lab describe how transcriptional networks and epigenetic enzymes cooperate to repress non-ocular fates from taking hold in the developing eye.

Kumar lab members authoring the article were Jinjin Zhu (graduate student), Alison J. Ordway (graduate student), Lena Weber (undergraduate student), and Justin P. Kumar (professor of biology).
