In this paper, paleontologists have compared gene expression and vertebra morphology in crocodilians and birds, and applied the findings to Plateosaurus to reconstruct its cervical homeobox expression pattern. However, due to the technicality of the paper, I am confused as to what the implications are. Could this data help us give long necks to modern archosaur embryos?
