The paper uses cross-species single-cell RNA-seq to identify conserved transcriptional networks in early pancreatic tumourigenesis across zebrafish, mouse, and human.

The paper identifies NR6A1 variants as a cause of congenital renal, vertebral, and uterine anomalies through clinical and zebrafish model studies.

The paper identifies calcineurin's role in regulating beta cell regeneration in zebrafish by balancing progenitor proliferation and differentiation.

The paper creates a central repository for zebrafish developmental genomics data, identifies new cis-regulatory elements, and compares regulatory elements between zebrafish and mouse.

The paper identifies genes regulated by retinoic acid signaling in zebrafish endoderm using RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq, and finds conserved RAR binding sites across vertebrates.

The paper identifies dual-initiation promoters in zebrafish that use both canonical and non-canonical initiation motifs, showing differential regulation during development and conservation across species.
