One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

Every cell in an animal's body carries the same DNA. Yet that single genetic blueprint somehow produces neurons that fire, muscles that contract, and tissues with entirely different jobs. How ...

Learn how mapping gene-control switches in an ancient sea anemone reveals how identical DNA can produce many different cell types. Every cell in an animal’s body carries the same DNA. Yet that single ...

A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...
