The paper identifies conserved non-coding elements associated with the evolutionary loss of digit 1 in mammals, showing accelerated evolution and loss of transcription factor binding sites.

The paper shows that Tgfbr1 regulates developmental plasticity between hindlimb and external genitalia by modulating regulatory element accessibility in mice.

The paper investigates the role of Myf5 and Lbx1 in turtle carapace development by recreating their unique expression patterns in mouse embryos and observing developmental outcomes.

The paper identifies a TgfβRI/Snai1-dependent developmental module that drives vertebrate axial elongation through a distinct EMT process in the tail bud.
