Convergent thyroid-ATPase interactions regulate collective behavior in Danionella
Convergent thyroid-ATPase interactions regulate collective behavior in Danionella
Zada, Kadobianskyi et al. develop methods for measuring and manipulating gene expression in the schooling glassfish Danionella cerebrum, identifying circadian genes and the thyroid-klf9-atp1a1 pathway as commonly regulated across multiple models of impaired or immature collective behavior.

How does a uniform zygote reliably break symmetry?
How do initially identical cells diverge in cell-cycle timing and transcriptional state?
In our new paper in Nature Physics, we show that embryo geometry itself is sufficient to pattern early development.
