Categories: Limbs / fins / digit / tail phene

Cross-species summary: "Flight in birds evolved through patterning of the wings from forelimbs and transition from alternating gait to synchronous flapping. In mammals, the spinal midline guidance molecule ephrin-B3 [EFNB3] instructs the wiring that enables limb alternation, and its deletion leads to synchronous hopping gait." (Haimson et al. 2021)
