Gene Duplication of the zebrafish kit ligand and partitioning of melanocyte development functions to kit ligand a.
The retention of particular genes after the whole genome duplication in zebrafish has given insights into how genes may evolve through partitioning of ancestral functions. We examine the partitioning of expression patterns and functions of two zebrafish kit ligands, kit ligand a (kitla) and kit liga...
