Cross-species transcriptomics uncovers genes underlying genetic accommodation of developmental plasticity in spadefoot toads.

Abstract excerpt

That hardcoded genomes can manifest as plastic phenotypes responding to environmental perturbations is a fascinating feature of living organisms. How such developmental plasticity is regulated at the molecular level is beginning to be uncovered aided by the development of -omic techniques. Here, we compare the transcriptome-wide responses of two species of spadefoot toads with differing capacity for developmental...
