Fish gills and human ears share the same genetic blueprint
Nature, Published online: 04 February 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-00342-6Gills and mammalian ears bear little resemblance, yet examination of gene regulation reveals that key supportive cartilage tissue arises from similar embryonic cells guided by an evolutionarily conserved genetic program.
