For decades, cellular aggregation was considered an evolutionary dead end.
Cells could come together temporarily.
But complex multicellular organisms like animals?
Our study, led by JP Gerdt, with Ruibao & @jennahed.bsky.social suggests it may be time to rethink that🧵 #ProtistsOnSKy

🐭 Female mice develop male genitals when researchers modified both copies of non-coding Enh13, which controls Sox9 gene responsible for testes development in male mice. This suggests Enh13 acts as an enhancer and a silencer of Sox9, per Nature Communications study.

Small changes in the non-coding part of the genome have a key role in sex determination.
Excited to see this work from June Ordoñez's PhD published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology! 🎉
