Abstract:In this study, we comprehensively searched for fish‐specific genes in gnathostomes that contribute to development of the fin, a fish‐specific trait. Many previous reports suggested that animal group‐specific genes are often important for group‐specific traits. Clarifying the roles of fish‐specific genes in fin development of gnathostomes, for example, can help elucidate the mechanisms underlying the formation of this trait. We first identified 91 fish‐specific genes in gnathostomes by comparing the gene repert… Show more
