A time-course of single nuclei RNA-seq of the mouse placenta identifies trophoblast subtypes and the genes, signaling events, and transcriptional networks important for their differentiation, maintenance, and function.
Endothelial cells from separate cardiac lineages start off in distinct transcriptional states, but over the course of development converge into transcriptional and functional states which are unrelated to lineage and which are conserved between mouse and human.

An analysis of enhancer activity during mouse cerebellar development provides an invaluable resource for studying gene expression regulation by enhancers in the developing cerebellum and delivers a rich dataset of novel gene-enhancer associations providing a basis for future in-depth studies.

Epistatic analysis in Xenopus and mouse embryos reveals an evolutionarily conserved gene regulatory network downstream of the transcription factor Tbx5 and retinoic acid that coordinates cardiac and pulmonary development.

Analysis of 3D reconstructions of chondrocrania of the FgfrcC342Y/+ Crouzon syndrome mouse show the direct effects of this Fgfr2 mutation on embryonic cranial cartilage formation and the indirect effects of chondrocranial morphology on cranial dermal bone development.
Ezh2 and Arid1a oppose each other to control expression of Cdkn2a to coordinate tooth furcation development and ultimately determine the number of roots in mouse molars.
Single embryo RNA-seq combined with mouse genetics provides a comprehensive view on the roles of Rlim and Xist for the regulation of X-linked gene expression during early mouse embryogenesis.

The nature and extent of developmental variation seen between mouse strains and genetically identical individuals explain why the first upper molar evolves along preferred path in murine rodents.
