Whole-genome duplication shaped cell-type evolution in the vertebrate brain

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10629-x

Analyses of brain single-cell transcriptomes from human, mouse, lizard, lamprey and amphioxus reveal that duplicated genes (ohnologues) played a pivotal part in early vertebrate cell-type diversification.
