The paper identifies human-specific retrotransposons as regulatory elements in bipotent neural crest and central nervous system precursors, showing their association with gene expression and transcription factor motifs.

This study shows SALL4 recruits BAF to CNCC-specific enhancers for neural crest induction, and SALL4A is essential for this process.

The paper identifies hominoid-specific transposable elements that regulate neural crest migration genes, showing their role in craniofacial evolution.

This study shows CHD3 regulates BMP signaling during cranial neural crest cell specification by modulating chromatin accessibility and gene expression.
