Conserved gene signalling and a derived patterning mechanism underlie the development of avian footpad scales

Conserved gene signalling and a derived patterning mechanism underlie the development of avian footpad scales

Abstract Background Vertebrates possess a diverse range of integumentary epithelial appendages, including scales, feathers and hair. These structures share extensive early developmental homology, as they mostly originate from a conserved anatomical placode. In the context of avian epithelial appenda...
