     This fundamental work advances our understanding of how SP5 and SP8 promote neuromesodermal competent progenitors in murine embryos. Generally the evidence is compelling, with strong developmental genetics, transcriptomic, and genomic transcription binding surveys contributing to the strength of the data. Some of the language could be softened to avoid overinterpretation of the data, and figures and diagrams could be improved.

     This manuscript uses modeling approaches to provide mechanistic insight into the structural and dynamic properties of enhancer-promoter interactions in Drosophila. Given the interest in this field, this is a timely approach, and the results give useful insights by providing predictions about the processivity of cohesin loop extrusion in Drosophila and concluding that the compartmental interaction strength is poised near criticality in the coil-globule phase space. The evidence provided to support some of the conclusions is, however, incomplete and would be strengthened by better considering some of the caveats in the data used to constrain the models, such as the use of "homie" genetic elements in the dynamic data. There is insufficient evidence provided for the dynamics being criticality-driven, and in addition, consideration of alternative models would further strengthen the conclusions of the manuscript.

     This important work describes the adaptation and evaluation of two red-shifted anion channelrhodopsins (RubyACRs) for optogenetic inhibition in Drosophila. The study provides convincing evidence for the effectiveness of RubyACRs in fly neurons, including electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and behavioral analysis. With minor revisions to address potential toxicity and compatibility with 2-photon imaging, this paper and the publicly available fly lines it describes will be resources that are of value to the neuroscience community.
