Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the formation and seasonal changes of nuptial pads in Rana chensinensis
Abstract Background Nuptial pads, a typical sexually dimorphic trait in anurans, are located on the first digit of the male forelimb in Rana chensinensis and exhibit morphological changes synchronized with breeding cycles. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying its formation and seasonal changes...
