This study identifies the role of BMP antagonists in sustaining mandibular growth in zebrafish by regulating chondrocyte differentiation and cartilage organization.

The paper identifies Foxc1's role in establishing chromatin accessibility for facial cartilage enhancers during zebrafish development.

This paper shows that FOXC1 mutations in zebrafish cause left-right axis defects and congenital heart defects, similar to human Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome.

The paper identifies a conserved Pou3f3 enhancer that drives divergent gill cover patterns in jawed vertebrates by regulating pharyngeal arch expression.

The paper identifies genes with regional expression in zebrafish cranial neural crest cells and reveals complex regulation by Edn1 in facial development.
