Summary:Shubin and Dahn comment on Shapirio et al's article on morphological evolution, in which they describe the genetic basis for limb reduction in threespine stickleback fish. By correlating how fin morphology segregates with each of 221 genetic markers in the offspring, Shapiro et al showed that five regions of the genome are associated with pelvic reduction.
