The paper investigates ZGA timing across 61 animal species and finds that genome size to cytoplasm volume ratio predicts ZGA onset.

This study creates a 3D amphioxus brain atlas using single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, revealing ancestral brain organization and highlighting vertebrate innovations.

The paper identifies an ancient regulatory syntax, SFZE, associated with brachyury across non-chordate and chordate species, suggesting its role in notochord origin through co-option of conserved elements.

The paper identifies conserved transcriptional programs in adult bilaterian guts across species, revealing how embryonic AP patterning relates to adult gut organization.

This study presents chromosome-level genome assemblies of two hemichordates to infer deuterostome ancestral chromosomal architecture and lineage-specific modifications.

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify novel motor neuron subtypes in mice, revealing subtype diversity that increases in land animals and continues to evolve in humans.
