The paper identifies an XY sex chromosome system in fourspine stickleback with polymorphic inversions on both X and Y chromosomes, revealing new insights into sex chromosome evolution.

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.

This study shows that Fbxw7 loss enhances Schwann cell myelinating potential by altering mTOR signaling and enabling multiple axon myelination, challenging previous distinctions between myelinating and non-myelinating Schwann cells.
