Phenotype loss is associated with widespread divergence of the gene regulatory landscape in evolution

Juliana G. Roscito, Katrin Sameith, Genı́s Parra, Björn E. Langer, Andreas Petzold, Claudia Moebius, Marc Bickle, Miguel Tréfaut Rodrigues, Michael Hiller

The paper shows that loss of morphological traits in snakes and subterranean mammals is linked to widespread divergence of regulatory elements associated with those traits.
