Molecular Basis of Urostyle Development: Genes and Gene Regulation Underlying an Evolutionary Novelty

2021-10-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Evolutionary novelties entail the origin of morphologies that enable new functions. These features can arise through changes to gene function and regulation. One important novelty is the fused rod at the end of the vertebral column in anurans, the urostyle. This feature is composed of a coccyx and an ossifying hypochord, and both structures ossify during metamorphosis. We used Laser Capture Micr...
