## Ideas that Push the Boundaries The Hox gene fushi tarazu (ftz) functions as a pair-rule segmentation gene in Drosophila. In contrast, Ftz protein from a beetle (Tc-Ftz) retains homeotic potential, indicated by its ability to transform antenna (upper left) to leg (lower right) and to repress Hom
**A guide to stem cell identification: Progress and challenges in systemβwide predictive testing with complex biomarkers.** Novel, systems wide tests can reliably map stem cell phenotypes and potentially replace cumbersome in vivo or in vitro assays.
