TL;DR: Both gain and loss of regulatory elements can localize BMP changes to specific anatomical locations, providing a flexible regulatory basis for evolving species-specific changes in skeletal form.

TL;DR: This article used repeated evolution in stickleback to identify a large set of genomic loci that change recurrently during colonization of freshwater habitats by marine fish, showing that the same loci used repeatedly in extant populations also show rapid allele frequency changes when new freshwater populations are experimentally established from marine ancestors.

TL;DR: This article identified a regulatory locus that has a major morphological effect on the length of stickleback dorsal and pelvic spines, which they termed Maser (major spine enhancer), which maps in a closely linked supergene complex that controls multiple armor, feeding and behavioral traits on chromosome IV.

TL;DR: In this paper, a genetic approach in fused stem cell lines that makes it possible to map human-chimpanzee molecular and cellular differences to specific regions of the genome was presented.
