Chen et al. compared the genomes of 36 percomorph fish, including some of the species illustrated on the cover, and found DNA sequences that show tight phylogenetic association with fin morphology across members of this clade. They recreated one of the phylogenetic lesions associated with caudal fin presence/absence by CRISPR-Cas9 editing in a Threespine Stickleback model. An example of the resulting crispant caudal fin morphology (ectopic fin rays on the dorsal edge of the tail) is shown by Alizarin Red skeletal staining.
