Wnt Genes in Wing Pattern Development of Coliadinae Butterflies

Wnt Genes in Wing Pattern Development of Coliadinae Butterflies

Wnt genes are major developmental genes highly conserved across all animals. Yet, our understanding of the Wnt gene repertoire and their functions is still largely incomplete. In Lepidoptera, Wnt genes have been implicated in wing pattern development. For example, WntA has been shown as a driver of...
