This study uses a multispecies comparative framework to analyze forebrain cell types across vertebrates, revealing conserved transcriptional programs and lineage-specific modifications.

The paper studies tooth regeneration in cichlid fishes, identifying accelerated replacement and cellular interactions involved in the process.

The paper identifies large chromosomal inversions in Lake Malawi cichlids and links them to habitat preference, lineage separation, and sex determination.

This study uses single nucleus RNA-sequencing to analyze sex differences in the forebrain of clownfish, identifying molecular and cellular changes associated with adult sex change.

The paper generates a spatially-resolved transcriptional atlas of the cichlid fish telencephalon and compares it to tetrapod forebrain regions, revealing conserved cell-type similarities.

This study links natural variation in oxytocin receptor signaling to changes in brain transcription, particularly in the natural killer gene complex, suggesting a mechanism for social behavior diversity.

The paper uses snRNA-seq and comparative genomics to study the evolution of bower building behavior in Lake Malawi cichlids, identifying glial gene module changes linked to the behavior.

The paper constructs genome-wide protein phylogenies for four African cichlid species to understand their evolutionary relationships with human and zebrafish proteins.
