Transcriptome analysis reveals wingless regulates neural development and signaling genes in the region of wing pigmentation of a polka-dotted fruit fly.

Abstract excerpt

How evolutionary novelties have arisen is one of the central questions in evolutionary biology. Preexisting gene regulatory networks or signaling pathways have been shown to be co-opted for building novel traits in several organisms. However, the structure of entire gene regulatory networks and evolutionary events of gene co-option for emergence of a novel trait are poorly understood. In this study, to explore...
