Genomic analyses of new genes and their phenotypic effects reveal rapid evolution of essential functions in Drosophila development.
It is a conventionally held dogma that the genetic basis underlying development is conserved in a long evolutionary time scale. Ample experiments based on mutational, biochemical, functional, and complementary knockdown/knockout approaches have revealed the unexpectedly important role of recently ev...
