This study presents new genome assemblies from Asymmetron and Epigonichthys, revealing phylogenetic discordance and gene innovation in cephalochordates.

This paper analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of FoxQ2 transcription factors across metazoans, identifying three ancient paralogs and revealing conserved and novel expression patterns in chordates.

PerturbView enables highly multiplexed optical pooled screens in primary cells and tissues by improving barcode amplification, revealing regulators of NFκB signaling and enabling spatial transcriptomics integration.

The paper traces the embryonic origin of calcitonin-producing cells across vertebrates and finds they derive from pharyngeal endoderm, not neural crest, and identifies homologues in invertebrate chordates.

This paper establishes A. mediterranea as an experimental system for developmental biology by developing in vitro culturing methods and characterizing its nervous system development.

This study constructs a rabbit developmental atlas and compares it with mouse data to identify species-specific differences in gene regulation and extra-embryonic tissues.

The paper investigates proliferation dynamics during amphioxus neurogenesis and shows how restricted proliferation contributes to regionalization of the neural tube.

The paper develops a single-cell morphometrics pipeline to study notochord development in amphioxus, revealing ancestral principles of morphogenesis and growth regulation.
