TL;DR: The VISTA Enhancer Browser as discussed by the authors is a collection of more than 250 experimentally tested DNA fragments, of which more than 100 have been validated as tissue-specific enhancers, and provides digital images of whole-mount embryo staining at embryonic day 11.5 and anatomical description of the reporter gene expression pattern.

TL;DR: Comparison genome analysis is utilized to identify candidate enhancer elements in the human genome coupled with the experimental determination of their in vivo enhancer activity in transgenic mice, and experimentally validated training sets are expected to provide a basis for a wide range of downstream computational and functional studies of enhancer function.

TL;DR: The general organization of the JGI Genome Portal is described and the most recent addition, MycoCosm, a new integrated fungal genomics resource is described.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that coexpression of the Forkhead protein FoxC2 and the Ets protein Etv2 induces ectopic expression of vascular genes in Xenopus embryos, and that combinatorial knockdown of the orthologous genes in zebrafish embryos disrupts vascular development.
