  "summary": "Vertebrate limb bones grow at different rates within and between species to achieve a striking variety of proportions and functions. However, most coding mutations that alter bone growth in mice and humans affect the entire skeleton, pointing to cis-regulatory modularity as the primary mechanism to diversify proportion. In a search for causative loci, we previously identified 1,755…",
