Parallel genetic origins of pelvic reduction in vertebrates.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 12 Sept 2006

Shapiro Michael D, Bell Michael A, Kingsley David M

Abstract excerpt

Despite longstanding interest in parallel evolution, little is known about the genes that control similar traits in different lineages of vertebrates. Pelvic reduction in stickleback fish (family Gasterosteidae) provides a striking example of parallel evolution in a genetically tractable system. Previous studies suggest that cis-acting regulatory changes at the Pitx1 locus control pelvic reduction in a population...
