Article Synopsis
- - Convergent phenotypic evolution occurs when specific changes in gene regulatory networks (GRNs) at key points lead to similar traits across different species, with minimal side effects from those changes.
- - The study highlights that while the loss of larval trichomes in Drosophila is due to reduced expression of the gene shavenbaby (svb), the gain of trichomes in certain leg areas is linked to reduced expression of microRNA-92a (miR-92a).
- - Differences in the GRNs related to trichome development reveal that various genetic factors influence whether features are lost or gained, which helps explain the predictability of evolutionary changes.
