Article Synopsis
- Biologists are studying how genetic changes influence development, particularly focusing on noncoding versus coding changes in genes.
- The research looks at the evolution of a new pigmentation trait in the monkeyflower Mimulus, focusing on a specific gene, MYB5a, that controls anthocyanin production.
- Findings suggest that the pigmentation trait in the magenta variant evolved primarily through noncoding regulatory changes, rather than changes in the protein-coding sequence, and the study also reveals new post-transcriptional editing in MYB5a.
