Chance caught on the wing: cis-regulatory evolution and the origin of pigment patterns in Drosophila.

Nature - 3 Feb 2005

Gompel Nicolas, Prud'homme Benjamin, Wittkopp Patricia J, Kassner Victoria A, Carroll Sean B

Abstract excerpt

The gain, loss or modification of morphological traits is generally associated with changes in gene regulation during development. However, the molecular bases underlying these evolutionary changes have remained elusive. Here we identify one of the molecular mechanisms that contributes to the evolutionary gain of a male-specific wing pigmentation spot in Drosophila biarmipes, a species closely related to...
