March 2025 in “Science Advances” The study investigates the molecular mechanisms behind skin regional specification, focusing on the Polish chicken's unique comb-to-crest feather transformation. This transformation is linked to a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 intron, which affects the topologically associating domain (TAD) structure, leading to increased HoxC expression in the scalp. CRISPR-Cas9 deletion of this duplication reduces crest feather formation, highlighting its role in feather shape alteration. The 195-bp sequence is specific to Archelosauria, suggesting that HoxC cluster regulation is crucial for the evolution of adaptive integumentary appendages in birds.
