NovelDoublesexDuplication Associated with Sexually Dimorphic Development of Dogface Butterfly Wings
28 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Sexually dimorphic development is responsible for some of the most remarkable phenotypic variation found in nature. Alternative splicing of the transcription factor gene doublesex (dsx) is a highly conserved developmental switch controlling the expression of sex-specific pathways. Here, we leverage sex-specific differences in butterfly wing color pattern to characterize the genetic basis of sexually dimorphic...
