The paper characterizes the avian pallium's cell types and evolution using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, revealing conserved and divergent features across amniotes.

The paper shows that the mitochondrial epigenome responds to stress, with sex-specific methylation changes and conserved nuclear factor binding sites across vertebrates.

The paper identifies five candidate genes affecting quantitative red colouration variation in chickens using QTL mapping and genetical genomics.

This study maps genes controlling brain mass and body mass variation in domestic chickens, showing they have separate genetic architectures and domestication increases body mass and absolute brain mass.
