The paper shows that cis-regulatory codes in retinal cell classes are highly conserved across vertebrates despite extensive enhancer turnover.

The paper characterizes lamprey retinal cell types using single-cell RNA-seq and compares them to jawed vertebrates, finding conserved and divergent cell types and regulatory elements.

The paper shows that cones and their retinal pathways remain functional in advanced retinal degeneration, even as cones lose their outer-segment structures.
