PDGF and FGF signal via distinct intracellular pathways to confer different cellular outcomes during craniofacial development.

Whole genome sequencing of 19 populations of Atlantic and Baltic herring reveals hundreds of individual loci underlying adaptation to a low salinity niche or timing of reproduction.

A transcription factor that regulates skeleton formation in sea urchin embryos has evolved a new domain that is essential for this process.

A gene duplication event has permitted the functional specialization of a homeodomain transcription factor through changes in exon-intron organization and these changes have supported the evolution of a major, phylum-level morphological novelty.

Pluripotent stem cell differentiation provides insight into how neural crest subtypes of distinct axial identity are patterned in human embryos.

The developmental potential of neural crest stem cells is regulated by a post-transcriptional mechanism that operates in a position-dependent manner.

Analysis of bearded dragon model reveals a novel tooth replacement strategy that demonstrates the critical importance of epithelial patterning, cell migration, and putative stem cell functional specialization in tissue regeneration.

A single-cell transcriptomic resource of the early chick epiblast from mid-gastrulation through neurulation highlighting emergence of the neural plate border territory, with emphasis on neural crest specification.

The transcriptional control system of a sea urchin gene reveals the deep evolutionary conservation of a gene regulatory network underlying morphogenesis.

Understanding novel cell types and their evolutionary history is re-evaluated using single nuclei transcriptomic approaches and their inferred underlying gene regulatory networks.
