Invention sharing is the mother of developmental biology

Invention sharing is the mother of developmental biology (part 4)

“…The species used as the experimental materials include human, mouse, rat, marmoset, dog, pig, ferret, hamster (cultured cells), Xenopus , Iberian ribbed newt, zebrafish, medaka, anemonefish, sea urchin, sea lily, sand roller, nematodes ( Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus ), planarians, and Arabidopsis thaliana . We believe that this special issue facilitates the development of the cross‐species research platform and reveals the mechanisms generating the diversity of life on Earth, as we wrote in the preface at the start of this special issue (Ogino et al, 2021).…”

Invention sharing is the mother of developmental biology (Part 3)

“…Invention sharing is the mother of developmental biology, that is, sharing of new methods and protocols has innovated many different fields of biological research. Researchers can apply the methods and protocols published in the special issue not only to the intended organisms but also possibly to other organisms with minor modifications, leading to the development of a cross‐species research platform for comparative evo–devo, as commented in the preface for Part 1 of our special issue (Ogino et al., 2021). Such cross‐species investigations will further make invention sharing the mother of developmental biology.…”
