Morphological evolution caused by many subtle-effect substitutions in a transcriptional enhancer

Morphology evolves often through changes in developmental genes, but the causal mutations, and their effects, remain largely unknown. The evolution of naked cuticle—rather than trichomes—on larvae of Drosophila sechellia resulted from changes in five transcriptional enhancers of shavenbaby, a gene e...
