Deep cis-regulatory homology of the butterfly wing pattern ground plan
A Mazo-Vargas, AM Langmüller, A Wilder… - Science, 2022 - science.org
Butterfly wing patterns derive from a deeply conserved developmental ground plan yet are
diverse and evolve rapidly. It is poorly understood how gene regulatory architectures can …

Macroevolutionary shifts of WntA function potentiate butterfly wing-pattern diversity
Butterfly wing patterns provide a rich comparative framework to study how morphological
complexity develops and evolves. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 somatic mutagenesis to test a …
