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 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 identifies a conserved Pou3f3 enhancer that drives divergent gill cover patterns in jawed vertebrates by regulating pharyngeal arch expression.

The paper investigates the evolution of endothelin signaling in vertebrates by comparing lampreys and gnathostomes, revealing differences in Edn receptor function and conserved roles in development.
