a, Cladogram showing evolutionary relationships between the species sampled. b, Histology of the fetal–maternal interface of M. domestica, T. ecaudatus, C. porcellus and M. musculus. Colour bars reflect tissue regions (legend on right) from fetal (F) to maternal (M). c, Proportional abundances of cell types belonging to major cell type classes in each sample. Cp, C. porcellus; Hs, H. sapiens; Md, M. domestica; Mf, M. fascicularis; Mm, M. musculus; Te, T. ecaudatus. d, Unified cross-species transcriptomic embedding (SAMap), coloured by cell type, with prominent divisions annotated in grey.
