In the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus, red erythrophores share a common progenitor with yellow xanthophores and require Cyp2ae2 and Bdh1a for accumulation of red ketocarotenoid pigment.
Developmental specialization of vomeronasal sensory neurons involves selective upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum genes in a subset of neurons along with a hypertrophic gyroid membrane architecture.
Aphid and mildew read counts leftover from the sequencing of greenhouse plants correlated with the environment of origin of the plants, and allowed the mapping of pathogen resistance genes.

Population genetics in turquoise killifish wild populations reveals how small population size and genetic drift determine the accumulation of deleterious gene variants leading to short lifespan.
Data-driven and effective connectivity analyses reveal patterns of functional specialization, common mechanisms, and brain-wide interaction profiles within the human inferior parietal lobes for multiple functional domains.

Naturally short-lived turquoise killifish undergo systemic and mucosal spontaneous decline in antibody-repertoire diversity during aging, recapitulating in a few months the aging-dependent decline of adaptive immunity.
High-resolution optical microscopy is used to reveal the organization of extracellular matrix proteins within the basement membrane of the blood filtration barrier in the kidney at the nanometer scale.
Motor units within a pool exhibit distinct rate coding as force levels change, highlighting how gain control can transform inputs with limited bandwidth into the desired muscle force.
