(Submitter supplied) Marsupials display accelerated development of the craniofacial region relative to the differentiation of the CNS when compared to placental mammals. This heterochrony is thought to be due to the functional demands on the oral region for suckling post-birth while in a highly altricial state after a very short gestation period. While cis-regulatory regions are thought to play a significant role in morphological evolution of the mammalian face, the genetic mechanisms involved in craniofacial heterochrony in marsupials remain unclear. more...

(Submitter supplied) The six-layered neocortex is exclusively present in mammals and mediates sensory-motor and higher-order functions. Key differences in this structure and its connections exist between the main mammalian groups: eutherians and marsupials, however, the molecular changes that underlie these known morphological differences remain unknown. This question is particularly difficult to address because small and transient changes in gene expression during development may be crucial to brain formation, which would not be detectable in adult transcriptomic analyses. more...
