Gene expression in Anolis sagrei suggests conservation of patterning mechanisms drives formation of two high acuity areas
As humans we enjoy high acuity color vision. A specialized area in our retinas, the fovea, endows us with this ability. Some vertebrates, such as the Anolis sagrei (brown anole), have two such areas. Whether different species use conserved developmental mechanism(s), and whether the same mechanism is used in one organism to pattern both foveae, are herein addressed in the brown anole. We observed…
