<i>apterous A</i> specifies dorsal wing patterns and sexual traits in butterflies
2017-04-26
Abstract excerpt
Butterflies have evolved different color patterns on their dorsal and ventral wing surfaces to serve different signaling functions, yet the developmental mechanisms controlling surface-specific patterning are still unknown. Here, we mutate both copies of the transcription factor apterous in Bicyclus anynana butterflies using CRISPR/Cas9 and show that apterous A functions both as a repressor and modifier of vent...
