Cryptic variation in vulva development by cis-regulatory evolution of a HAIRY-binding site.
Nature communications - 1 Jan 2013
Kienle Simone, Sommer Ralf J
Abstract excerpt
Robustness to mutations is a general principle of biological systems that allows for the accumulation of cryptic variation. However, little is known about robustness and cryptic variation in core developmental pathways. Here we show through gonad-ablation screens in natural isolates of Pristionchus pacificus cryptic variation in nematode vulva development. This variation is mainly caused by cis-regulatory...
