This study identifies key transcription factors for leg formation in sea robins and shows the role of tbx3a in chemosensory leg evolution.

The paper investigates how sea robins evolved leg-like sensory organs for prey detection, showing papillae enable enhanced mechanical and chemical sensing for predatory behavior.

The paper identifies genomic deletions associated with convergent fin reduction in multiple fish lineages by comparing whole-genome sequences of 36 wild fish species.

This study evaluates two sophorolipid candidates against 2D and 3D breast cancer models, finding one sophorolipid has comparable cytotoxicity to doxorubicin, with higher resistance in 3D spheroids.

The paper shows that HOXDB regulatory changes in stickleback fish species independently alter spine length and number through different molecular mechanisms.

This paper develops a stem cell fusion approach to map human-chimpanzee genetic differences by analyzing gene expression in tetraploid iPSCs and identifying cis- and trans-acting regulatory elements.

The paper identifies recurrent genomic loci involved in stickleback adaptation to freshwater habitats and shows they predict evolutionary changes in Darwin's finches.

The paper assembles a young Y chromosome from threespine stickleback, revealing convergent evolutionary features with older sex chromosomes.
