The evolution and development of LEAFY function - PubMed
Even though the canonical role of the transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) is in establishing the identity of angiosperm floral meristems, homologs of this gene are found across all land plants, predating the evolution of flowers. It has been hypothesized that the ancestral role of LFY was more broadly …

araucan regulates butterfly wing iridescence by coordinating scale structure and pigmentation - PubMed
Butterfly wings exhibit a remarkable diversity of structural iridescent colours, yet the genetic regulation of iridescence remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the Iroquois-complex transcription factor gene araucan plays a role in modulating wing scale iridescence in the common buckeye butt …
Synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography of the small-spotted catshark embryonic development (Chondrichthyes: Scyliorhinus canicula)

Synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography of the small-spotted catshark embryonic development (Chondrichthyes: Scyliorhinus canicula) - PubMed
We present a comprehensive dataset of 4D high-resolution SRµCT of the small-spotted catshark embryonic development. The dataset spans consecutive embryonic stages, allowing the reconstruction and morphometric analyses of tissues, organs, and structures, along with the tracking of their development. …
Whole genome DNA methylation atlas of the scallop Patinopecten yessoensis

Whole genome DNA methylation atlas of the scallop Patinopecten yessoensis - PubMed
DNA methylation, a fundamental epigenetic mechanism in eukaryotes, remains inadequately studied in the second-largest animal phylum, Mollusca. This gap persists due to a lack of comprehensive cross-tissue methylome data, which has hindered a deeper understanding of its regulatory roles in various or …

Holo-2bRAD: A Hologenomic Method for High-Resolution Analysis of Coral Microbiomes During Bleaching - PubMed
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate-induced bleaching, yet profiling the coral holobiont-the host and its associated microbiota-remains technically challenging due to high host-DNA contamination (often >95%) and the lack of comprehensive reference databases. H …
Evolutionary origins and transcriptomic innovations of vertebrate Cajal-Retzius cells

Evolutionary origins and transcriptomic innovations of vertebrate Cajal-Retzius cells - PubMed
Evolutionary changes in cortical development were instrumental in the emergence of the mammalian neocortex. Cajal-Retzius cells, a transient neuron type discovered over a century ago, are critical players in the development of mammalian-specific cortical features such as inside-out neurogenesis. How …

Evolutionary transformations of the ossified Meckelian cartilage in mammaliaforms - Developmental Biology Advances
Developmental and fossil evidence shows that the mammalian Meckelian cartilage plays a transient but crucial role in forming both the mandible and the midd
