Same trait, different genes: pelvic spine loss in three brook stickleback populations in Alberta, Canada

2024-06-29

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of phenotypic or adaptive parallelism can reveal much about constraints on evolution. This study investigated the genetic basis of a canonically parallel trait: pelvic spine reduction in sticklebacks. Pelvic reduction has a highly parallel genetic basis in threespine stickleback in populations around the world, always involving a deletion of the pel1 enhancer of Pitx1 . We conducted a genome-wid...
