Evolutionary integration of the amniote limb
Meeting Abstract S10-4 Sunday, Jan. 8 09:00 – 09:30 Evolutionary integration of the amniote limb YOUNG, Nathan M; University of California, San Franisco nathan.m.young@gmail.com http://profiles.ucsf.edu/nathan.young A central question in evolutionary developmental biology is how the remarkable diversity found among distantly related species could be generated by highly conserved developmental systems. In part this paradox reflects our ignorance […]

Meeting Abstract S10-9 Sunday, Jan. 8 13:30 – 14:00 Conservation, convergence, and novelty in Octopus bimaculoides embryogenesis ALBERTIN, C.B.*; RAGSDALE, C.W.; University of Chicago; University of Chicago carrie.albertin@gmail.com Cephalopods have a highly derived body plan and a suite of innovations with no obvious correlates in other animals. More striking in many ways than the disparities in the […]
Changing while staying the same Self-organized patterning allows a deeply-conserved gene circuit to produce varying skeletal arrangements during limb evolution
Meeting Abstract S10-3 Sunday, Jan. 8 08:30 – 09:00 Changing while staying the same: Self-organized patterning allows a deeply-conserved gene circuit to produce varying skeletal arrangements during limb evolution. SHARPE, J.; Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona james.sharpe@crg.eu http://www.crg.eu/james_sharpe The limb has been a classical system for asking questions about evolution and development. It has long been proposed […]
