Single locus affects embryonic segment polarity and multiple aspects of an adult evolutionary novelty.

BMC biology - 26 Aug 2010

Saenko Suzanne V, Brakefield Paul M, Beldade Patrícia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The characterization of the molecular changes that underlie the origin and diversification of morphological novelties is a key challenge in evolutionary developmental biology. The evolution of such traits is thought to rely largely on co-option of a toolkit of conserved developmental genes that typically perform multiple functions. Mutations that affect both a universal developmental process and the...
