This study examines oral tooth development and evolution in threespine sticklebacks, finding variable spatial sequences, sexual dimorphism in late juvenile stages, and increased tooth numbers in freshwater fish.

This study shows that overexpressing Ectodysplasin (Eda) in sticklebacks and zebrafish can induce tooth formation in multiple oropharyngeal and cranial domains, revealing dynamic spatial and temporal competency for ectopic tooth initiation.

The paper investigates the role of Wnt and BMP signaling in tooth regeneration in fish, finding that Wnt promotes and BMP inhibits regeneration, similar to hair regeneration.

The paper identifies a novel role for galr2 in craniofacial development and jaw elongation in pupfishes by linking genetic variation to phenotypic differences.

The paper investigates whether an enhancer's pleiotropy in stickleback tooth and fin development is due to site pleiotropy or multiple distinct sites.

The paper identifies evolved Bmp6 enhancer alleles that cause spatial shifts in gene expression during tooth development in sticklebacks, linking these changes to increased tooth number in freshwater forms.

The paper compares tooth regeneration systems in zebrafish and stickleback to show they use a conserved set of genes during regeneration.

The paper investigates convergent evolution of gene expression in two high-toothed stickleback populations, finding that trans regulatory changes are more shared than cis changes.
