    Gene regulatory dynamics during craniofacial development in a carnivorous marsupial

    Laura E Cook, Charles Y Feigin ... Irene Gallego Romero
    While the genes involved in craniofacial development are highly conserved between the fat-tailed dunnart and mouse, their cis-regulatory elements show significant divergence and appear to reflect species-specific developmental processes.
