Delighted to share our new preprint, which places what we have learned about the polygenic basis of the globular human brain shape into a broader evolutional/developmental context 🧪🧠🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We also find evidence for embryonic-lineage contributions to extraembryonic-like states, suggesting unexpected at this stage plasticity across the embryonic–extraembryonic boundary.

Our stem cell-derived embryo models (EiTiX) reproduce recognizable embryonic cell identities, but lineage relationships between those identities can differ markedly from embryos. Transcriptional resemblance can therefore coexist with different developmental routes.

The same cell identity can conceal a different developmental history. Our new preprint connects cellular ancestry, fate timing and gene expression in mouse embryos and stem cell-derived embryo models. doi.org/10.64898/2026.… @Rachsuliusy @_Choi_Junhong
