Genetic mapping and molecular mechanism behind color variation in the Asian vine snake

Genetic mapping and molecular mechanism behind color variation in the Asian vine snake

Abstract Background Reptiles exhibit a wide variety of skin colors, which serve essential roles in survival and reproduction. However, the molecular basis of these conspicuous colors remains unresolved. Results We investigate color morph-enriched Asian vine snakes (Ahaetulla prasina), to explore the...
