The paper identifies supporting-like cells as an alternative steroidogenic lineage in mammals, conserved across amniotes, and shows their role in embryonic development and evolution.

This study shows that DMRT1 is essential for testis determination in rabbits and also critical for female fertility, revealing its conserved role across vertebrates.

This study shows that absence of estrogen in male rabbits leads to reduced fertility, lower sperm count, and increased flagellar defects in sperm.

The paper shows that fetal estrogen production is not required for ovarian determination but is essential for ovarian development and follicle formation in rabbits.

This paper investigates the role of Topaz1 in murine spermatogenesis, showing it stabilizes testis-specific long non-coding RNAs and is critical for terminal differentiation but not essential for fertility.

The paper identifies POLYCERATE alleles in sheep and goats linked to defective HOXD1 function, showing haploinsufficiency causes horn bud splitting and highlights HOXD1's role in headgear patterning in Bovidae.

The paper identifies RUNX1 as a conserved regulator of fetal ovarian supporting cell identity, showing its interaction with FOXL2 in maintaining granulosa cell fate across species.
