Temporal pattern formation by heterochronic genes.

Abstract excerpt

Heterochrony describes the phylogenetic variation in the relative timing of major developmental events. Such heterochronic variation has been noted across phylogeny, including closely related species, suggesting that particular genetic loci control global aspects of developmental timing, and that variation at those loci may play important roles in evolutionary change. Genetic analyses of heterochronic mutations...
