(Submitter supplied) We study the genomic and developmental basis of the mammalian gliding membrane, or patagium, an adaptative trait that has repeatedly evolved in different lineages, including in closely related marsupial species. Through comparative genomic analysis of fifteen new marsupial genomes, both from gliding and non-gliding species, we find that the Emx2 locus experienced lineage-specific patterns of accelerated cis-regulatory evolution in gliding species. more...
