Vertebrate pigment patterns are diverse and fascinating adult traits that allow animals to
recognize conspecifics, attract mates, and avoid predators. Pigment patterns in fish are …

Colour patterns are prominent features of many animals and have important functions in
communication, such as camouflage, kin recognition and mate choice. As targets for natural …

Meiotic recombinations contribute to genetic diversity by yielding new combinations of
alleles. Recently, high-resolution recombination maps were inferred from high-density single …

We created a deeply extracted and annotated database of genome-wide association studies
(GWAS) results. GRASP v1. 0 contains> 6.2 million SNP-phenotype association from among …

Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates diverse developmental events and can drive disparate
cellular outcomes. In zebrafish, TH has opposite effects on neural crest derived pigment …

Genome-wide association studies and comparative genomics have established major loci
and specific polymorphisms affecting human skin, hair and eye color. Environmental …

Colour patterns of adult fish are produced by several types of pigment cells that distribute in
the dermis during juvenile development. The zebrafish, Danio rerio, displays a striking …

Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …

More than half a century ago, Alan Turing postulated that pigment patterns may arise from a
mechanism that could be mathematically modeled based on the diffusion of two substances …

Skin pigment patterns of vertebrates are a classic system for understanding fundamental
mechanisms of morphogenesis, differentiation, and pattern formation, and recent studies of …
