The paper examines the developmental changes in ping-pong piRNA amplification in the female germline of chickens and zebrafish, showing increased amplification at meiotic entry and preferential targeting of LTR/ERV retroelements in mature ovaries.

The paper shows that BMP2 and retinoic acid together activate a meiotic-entry program in chicken primordial germ cells, unlike retinoic acid alone.

This study investigates the evolutionary origins and dynamics of liver cell architecture across mammals, revealing conserved zonation and rapid evolutionary turnover in zonated genes.

This study identifies miR-2954 as a male-essential microRNA critical for avian sex chromosome dosage compensation, showing its role in balancing gene expression in males and females.

This study analyzes gene regulatory programs in primate gonads, finding shared and species-specific regulatory dynamics and candidate genes for sex development disorders.

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