Abstract
How modification of gene expression generates novel traits is key to understanding the evolutionary process. We investigated the genetic basis for the origin of the piscine gas bladder from lungs of ancestral bony vertebrates. Distinguishing these homologous organs is the direction of budding from the foregut during development; lungs bud ventrally and the gas bladder buds dorsally.Entities:
