Genetic analyses in Lake Malawi cichlids identify new roles for Fgf signaling in scale shape variation

Elasmoid scales are the most common epithelial appendage among vertebrates, however an understanding of the genetic mechanisms that underlie variation in scale shape is lacking. Using an F(2) mapping cross between morphologically distinct cichlid species, we identified >40 QTL for scale shape at...
