The Cyprinodon variegatus genome reveals gene expression changes underlying differences in skull morphology among closely related species

Abstract Background Understanding the genetic and developmental origins of phenotypic novelty is central to the study of biological diversity. In this study we identify modifications to the expression of genes at four developmental stages that may underlie jaw morphological differences among three c...
