An ancestral pronephric contribution reveals the multilineage origin of the teleost gonad and revises the evolution of vertebrate gonadogenesis
Challenging the paradigm that pronephric field contribution to gonadal formation would be an amniote innovation, we demonstrate this trait is ancestral to bony vertebrates. Using cell lineage tracing,...
