Title: | Marsupial genomes reveal how a skin membrane for gliding evolved |
Creators Name: | Lupiáñez, D.G. |
Abstract: | A parachute-like skin membrane, the patagium, evolved independently in several marsupial species. Genomic analysis suggests that this trait came about through different changes to the regulation of the same gene. |
