Title:Marsupial genomes reveal how a skin membrane for gliding evolved
Creators Name:Lupiáñez, D.G.
Abstract:A parachute-like skin membrane, the patagium, evolved independently in several marsupial species. Genomic analysis suggests that this trait came about through different changes to the regulation of the same gene.
