2604.01511 Cross-Species Single-Cell Atlas of Embryonic Retina Reveals Evolutionary Conservation and Divergence in Vertebrate Eye Development
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.
