Evolutionary genetics of flipper forelimb and hindlimb loss from limb development-related genes in cetaceans

BACKGROUND: Cetacean hindlimbs were lost and their forelimb changed into flippers characterized by webbed digits and hyperphalangy, thus allowing them to adapt to a completely aquatic environment. However, the underlying molecular mechanism behind cetacean limb development remains poorly understood....
