    Abstract As seen in the protocols in this book, the opportunities to pursue work at the cellular and molecular work in salamanders have considerably broadened over the last years. The availability of genomic information and genome editing, and the possibility to image tissues live and other methods enhance the spectrum of biological questions accessible to all researchers. Here I provide a personal perspective on what I consider exciting future questions open for investigation.

    Abstract The availability of the chromosome-scale axolotl genome sequences has made it possible to explore genome evolution, perform cross-species comparisons, and use additional sequencing data to analyze both genome-wide features and individual genes. Here, we will focus on the UCSC genome browser and demonstrate in a step-by-step manner how to use it to integrate different data to approach a broad question of the Fgf8 locus evolution and analyze the neighborhood of a gene that was reported missing in axolotl - Pax3.

    Abstract Salamanders, such as axolotls and newts, can regenerate complex tissues including entire limbs. But what mechanisms ensure that an amputated limb regenerates a limb, and not a tail or unpatterned tissue? An important concept in regeneration is positional memory-the notion that adult cells "remember" spatial identities assigned to them during embryogenesis (e.g., "head" or "hand") and use this information to restore the correct body parts after injury. Although positional memory is well documented at a phenomenological level, the underlying cellular and molecular bases are just beginning to be decoded. Herein, we review how major principles in positional memory were established in the salamander limb model, enabling the discovery of positional memory-encoding molecules, and advancing insights into their pattern-forming logic during regeneration. We explore findings in other amphibians, fish, reptiles, and mammals and speculate on conserved aspects of positional memory. We consider the possibility that manipulating positional memory in human cells could represent one route toward improved tissue repair or engineering of patterned tissues for therapeutic purposes.

    Abstract The gigantic 32Gb Axolotl genome inspires fascinating questions such as: how such a big genome is organized and packed in nuclei and how regulation of gene transcription can happen over such large genomic distances. Currently, there are many technical challenges when we investigate chromatin architecture in axolotl. For example, probing promoter-enhancer interactions in such a large genome. Chromatin capture methods (e.g., Chromatin Conformation Capture) have been used in a variety of species. The large size of the axolotl nuclei and its genome requires the adaptation of such methods. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for high-throughput genome-wide conformation capture (Hi-C) using axolotl limb cells. This Hi-C library preparation protocol can also be used to prepare libraries from other nonmodel organisms such as Lungfish and Cephalopods. We believe that our protocol could be useful for a variety of animal systems including other salamanders.

    Abstract Tissue clearing turns otherwise turbid and opaque tissue transparent, enabling imaging deep within tissues. The nontransparent nature of most tissues is due to the refractive index mismatch between its three major constituent components (lipids, proteins, and water). All tissue clearing methods rectify this mismatch by homogenizing the refractive index within the tissue and carefully matching it to the surrounding media. Here we describe a detailed protocol to clear a wide range of salamander tissues. We also include several optional steps such as depigmentation, antibody staining, and tissue mounting. These steps are optional, and do not change anything in the steps needed for tissue clearing. Depending on the fluorescent signal and optics employed, images up to several millimeters inside of the tissue can be acquired.

    Abstract The major transitions in vertebrate evolution are associated with significant genomic reorganizations. In contrast to the evolutionary processes that occurred at the origin of vertebrates or prior to the radiation of teleost fishes, no whole-genome duplication events occurred during the water-to-land transition, and it remains an open question how did genome dynamics contribute to this prominent evolutionary event. Indeed, the recent sequencing of sarcopterygian and amphibian genomes has revealed that the extant lineages immediately preceding and succeeding this transition harbor an exceptional number of transposable elements and it is tempting to speculate that these sequences might have catalyzed the adaptations that enabled vertebrates to venture into land. Here, we review the genome dynamics associated with the major transitions in vertebrate evolution and discuss how the highly repetitive genomic landscapes revealed by recent efforts to characterize the genomes of amphibians and sarcopterygians argue for turbulent genome dynamics occurring before the water-to-land transition and possibly enabling it.

    Abstract Limb amputation in salamanders yields a wound response that ultimately leads to replacement of the missing part. This unique-among-tetrapod trait involves the migration and recruitment of multiple cell types including epithelium, immune cells, axonal growth cones, and connective tissue cells to build the blastema which contains the proliferating stem and progenitor cells to rebuild the limb tissues. A number of the signaling and cell biological events have been defined. They point to the intimate coordination of physical events such as osmotic pressure, cell migration, and cell-cell communication with changes in cell identity such as dedifferentiation into embryonic-like epithelial and mesenchymal cells.
