I'm impressed by the paper's 16 co-first authors and 13 co-last corresponding authors. While something like this might be more routine in a field like physics, it's a good look for biology and I hope the trend of sharing credit continues.

I got coauthored for formatting my coworker’s paper with LateX in the field of computational biology. So don’t get too excited.

The standards for authorship in this study were pretty strict. Something like ~2 supplementary figures just for a co-authorship.
