The paper identifies JUNB as a gene driving species-specific cortical features by comparing gene expression in mouse, human, and human cortical organoids.

The paper shows that first-order thalamic neurons develop from higher-order neurons with peripheral input driving excitatory neuron maturation.

The paper shows that FGF and Wnt signaling gradients determine phase transitions in vertebrate eye cup development, specifying cell fates through their combinatorial code.

This study uses single-cell mRNA profiling to reveal the transcriptional logic of cell fate specification and axon guidance in early retinal neurons, identifying new molecular markers and regulatory sequences.

The paper analyzes single-cell transcriptomes of developing mammalian limb buds to show that Hoxd genes are expressed in specific combinations linked to cell types and follow a pseudotime trajectory during digit development.
