This study shows hybrid mice exhibit disrupted cephalo-pelvic covariation and reduced pelvic sexual dimorphism, suggesting these traits are genetically structured and sensitive to hybridization.

The paper inhibits three downstream RTK signaling pathways in chicken embryos and finds they cause similar truncation of the frontonasal process, suggesting interdependent roles in morphogenesis.

The paper develops an imaging pipeline to quantify 3D cellular proliferation and morphology during mouse facial development, showing their tight correlation.

MusMorph provides standardized mouse morphology data for meta-analyses, including craniofacial and brain structures across developmental stages and genotypes.

The paper develops a process-centered multivariate genotype-phenotype approach to analyze craniofacial shape variation in mice, linking gene sets to shape axes and predicting phenotypic effects beyond shape.

The paper identifies structural variants in HDAC9 that disrupt TWIST1 regulatory elements, causing craniofacial and limb malformations through altered transcriptional regulation.

This paper applies a landmark-free morphometric method to a mouse model of Down syndrome, revealing localized cranial phenotypes not detectable with traditional landmark-based approaches.

This paper develops CNNs to segment tissues and proliferating cells in light-sheet microscopy images, achieving results comparable to manual segmentation.
