Evolutionary genetics: how flies get naked.

Current biology : CB - 23 Oct 2007

Wittkopp Patricia J

Abstract excerpt

Researchers studying evolution of 'naked' (hairless) larval cuticle in Drosophila sechellia have discovered surprising complexity in the pattern of cis-regulatory differences that differentiate this species from its 'hairy' ancestors.
