A role of Ultrabithorax in morphological differences between Drosophila species.

Nature - 3 Dec 1998

Stern D L

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms underlying the evolution of morphology are poorly understood. Distantly related taxa sometimes exhibit correlations between morphological differences and patterns of gene expression, but such comparisons cannot establish how mechanisms evolve to generate diverse morphologies. Answe...
