Evolutionary phenome-genome analysis of cranial suture closure in mammals
2020-06-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cranial sutures are growth and stress diffusion sites that connect the bones protecting the brain. The closure of cranial suture is a key feature of mammalian late development and evolution, which can also lead to head malformations when it occurs prematurely (craniosynostosis). To unveil the phenotypic and genetic causes of suture closure in evolution, we examined 48 mammalian species searching...
