The paper shows how epigenetic coalitions in birds couple tissue growth to generate periodic color patterns through ASIP regulation and feedback loops.

The paper investigates how keratin gene clusters are organized in vertebrate skin to enable developmental competence and gene-level selectivity during epidermal differentiation.

The paper shows that perturbing calcium signaling in chicken skin induces de novo feather bud formation, revealing bioelectricity as a regulatory layer in tissue patterning.

The paper shows potassium channels at the base and calcium channels at the tip of feather buds create a current loop essential for feather patterning and morphology.

The paper investigates the role of gap junctions in Turing-type feather pattern formation using chicken skin and computational models.
