Patterns of molecular conservation along tooth development are only partly shaped by evolutionary pressures on tooth

The paper examines molecular conservation patterns during molar development in mice and hamsters, finding that conservation varies with developmental stage and is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic evolutionary pressures.

Inverse hourglass pattern of conservation in rodent molar development.

The paper identifies an inverse hourglass pattern of conservation in rodent molar development, showing greater conservation at early and late stages than intermediate ones.
