Novel function of Distal-less as a gap gene during spider segmentation.

PLoS genetics - 1 Oct 2011

Abstract excerpt

Despite many aspects of the regulation of segmentation being conserved among arthropods, the evolution of novel gene functions has played an important role in the evolution of developmental regulation and the emergence of new segmental structures. Moreover the study of such novel gene functions can be informative with respect to the patterns and direction of evolutionary changes in developmental programs. The...
