Time matters! Developmental shift in gene expression between the head and the trunk region of the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni

Abstract Background Differential gene expression can be translated into differing phenotypic traits. Especially during embryogenesis, specific gene expression networks regulate the development of different body structures. Cichlid fishes, with their impressive phenotypic diversity and propensity to...
