Homeotic evolution in the mammalia: diversification of therian axial seriation and the morphogenetic basis of human origins.

BackgroundDespite the rising interest in homeotic genes, little has been known about the course and pattern of evolution of homeotic traits across the mammalian radiation.An array of emerging and diversifying homeotic gradients revealed by this study appear to generate new body plans and drive evolution at a large scale.Methodology/principal findin
