Do common ancient gene regulatory programmes govern both neural and pancreatic fates throughout vertebrate evolution?

Vertebrate development depends on precise regulation of genes that specify cell identity. Many developmental transcription factor (TF) genes are controlled by highly conserved non-coding elements (HCNEs), regulatory DNA sequences preserved across hundreds of millions of years of vertebrate evolution.
