Mutation rates per generation are strikingly similar across germlines of animals and across at least one somatic cell type, suggesting a key role for natural selection in shaping mutation rates. This ...
Gumnit et al. reveal that Cajal-Retzius cells are ancestral to jawed vertebrates.
Cajal-Retzius cells share a core transcription factor identity and are evolutionarily
