The vertebrate retina serves as an exemplary model for understanding evolutionary developmental biology. Here we present a comprehensive cross-species single-cell transcriptomic atlas of embryonic retinal development spanning six vertebrate species: human, macaque, mouse, chicken, zebrafish, and Xenopus.

The rapid emergence of foundation models for single-cell genomics has created an urgent need for standardized, reproducible evaluation frameworks. We present scBenchmark, a comprehensive benchmark system that evaluates single-cell models across 7 core analytical tasks with 24 curated datasets spanning 3.
