NOMIS researcher Henrik Kaessmann and collaborators have identified a mechanism that balances the genetic disparity between sex chromosomes in birds. Their findings were published in Nature. Birds have developed a […]

Birds have a sex chromosome system in which females are heterogametic (ZW) and males are homogametic (ZZ)1. The differentiation of avian sex chromosomes from ancestral autosomes entails the loss of […]

The amnion is a critical extra-embryonic structure that supports foetal development, yet its ontogeny remains poorly defined. Here, using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified major cell types and subtypes in the […]

NOMIS researcher Tom Griffiths and collaborators from institutions around the world have developed a computational model that can predict and simulate human behavior. Their research was published in Nature. Researchers […]
