  • Organisms regulate biogenic crystal properties for various functions. Here the authors reveal the genetic and biochemical control of crystal morphogenesis in zebrafish iridophores, showing that the chemical composition, influenced by enzyme expression, determines crystal morphology and functionality.

  • The genome of the zebra finch — a songbird and a model for studying the vertebrate brain, behaviour and evolution — has been sequenced. Comparison with the chicken genome, the only other bird genome available, shows that genes that have neural function and are implicated in the cognitive processing of song have been evolving rapidly in the finch lineage. Moreover, vocal communication engages much of the transcriptome of the zebra finch brain.
