This study presents a chromosome-anchored genome assembly of Asymmetron lucayanum, revealing genome architecture and gene evolution in cephalochordates.

This study creates a 3D amphioxus brain atlas using single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, revealing ancestral brain organization and highlighting vertebrate innovations.

The paper identifies an ancient regulatory syntax, SFZE, associated with brachyury across non-chordate and chordate species, suggesting its role in notochord origin through co-option of conserved elements.

This paper analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of FoxQ2 transcription factors across metazoans, identifying three ancient paralogs and revealing conserved and novel expression patterns in chordates.
