About this document
Evolution of Snake Appendages by Luis Aguilar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the evolution and gene regulatory networks related to limb reduction in squamate reptiles, particularly snakes. It highlights the conservation of ancient limb enhancers in snake genomes and their dual role in regulating both limb and genital development, suggesting that many regulatory elements have retained function in non-limb tissues. The findings indicate that while some limb-specific enhancers have lost their function in snakes, others continue to play a role in genital developme
