The paper analyzes genomic data from 32 animal species to explore how changes in regulatory genes and microRNAs relate to morphological complexity and disparity, finding no link between genome size and disparity but strong associations between gene loss and parasitism, and microRNA increases and complexity.

The paper generates a human neural retina transcriptome atlas using single-cell RNA sequencing, identifying 18 cell types and revealing a novel role for MALAT1 in rod degeneration.
