Reconstruction of the Prox gene family evolution in vertebrates reveals multiple lineage-specific gene losses

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of the Prox gene family in vertebrates, revealing lineage-specific gene losses and identifying a fourth ancestral Prox gene.

The sensory shark: high-quality morphological, genomic and transcriptomic data for the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula reveal the molecular bases of sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates

This study integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from the small-spotted catshark to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

The overlooked first intercostal ligament: Does it help to stabilize the Weberian apparatus?

This study investigates the first intercostal ligament (ICL1) in zebrafish, proposing its role in stabilizing the Weberian apparatus by minimizing non-optimal movement.

Multiple cis-regulatory elements control prox1a expression in distinct lymphatic vascular beds

This study identifies multiple cis-regulatory elements controlling prox1a expression in distinct lymphatic vascular beds in zebrafish.

An evolutionarily conserved cis-regulatory element of Nkx3.2 contributes to early jaw joint morphology in zebrafish

This study identifies a conserved Nkx3.2 enhancer in zebrafish that regulates jaw joint development and shows its functional conservation across gnathostomes.

The Broad Role of Nkx3.2 in the Development of the Zebrafish Axial Skeleton

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to knock out nkx3.2 in zebrafish, revealing skeletal phenotypes that suggest conserved ancestral roles in axial skeleton development.

The role of Gdf5 in the development of the zebrafish fin endoskeleton

This study investigates the role of Gdf5 in zebrafish fin endoskeleton development, showing its importance in segmentation and structure, with effects increasing from anterior to posterior.

Reconstruction of the carbohydrate 6-O sulfotransferase gene family evolution in vertebrates reveals novel member, CHST16, lost in amniotes

The paper reconstructs the evolution of the C6OST gene family in vertebrates, identifying a novel member CHST16 lost in amniotes and tracing gene duplications across different vertebrate lineages.
