Most of our knowledge of early development comes from one species, the mouse, but it is not known how similar it is to other mammals or even other vertebrates such as birds and reptiles. Using a marsupial model, the tammar wallaby, the project aims to identify mechanisms that are fundamental to mammals and those that are more evolutionarily plastic.

我们对早期发育的大部分知识都来自一个物种，即老鼠，但我们不知道它与其他哺乳动物甚至其他脊椎动物（如鸟类和爬行动物）有多相似。利用有袋类动物模型，tammar wallaby，该项目旨在确定哺乳动物的基本机制和那些更具进化可塑性的机制。
