RUNX2 tandem repeats and the evolution of facial length in placental mammals

BACKGROUND: When simple sequence repeats are integrated into functional genes, they can potentially act as evolutionary ‘tuning knobs’, supplying abundant genetic variation with minimal risk of pleiotropic deleterious effects. The genetic basis of variation in facial shape and length represents a po...
