Ezh2 regulates anteroposterior axis specification and proximodistal axis elongation in the developing limb
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Specification and determination (commitment) of positional identities precedes overt pattern formation during development. In the limb bud, it is clear that the anteroposterior axis is specified at a very early stage and is prepatterned by the mutually antagonistic interaction between Gli3 and Hand2. There is also evidence that the proximodistal axis is specified early and determined progressively. Little is known about upstream regulators of these processes or how epigenetic modifiers influence axis formation. Using conditional mutagenesis at different time points, we show that the histone methyltransferase Ezh2 is an upstream regulator of anteroposterior prepattern at an early stage. Mutants exhibit posteriorised limb bud identity. During later limb bud stages, Ezh2 is essential for cell survival and proximodistal segment elongation. Ezh2 maintains the late phase of Hox gene expression and cell transposition experiments suggest that it regulates the plasticity with which cells respond to instructive positional cues.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
