The study of the origin and evolution of the tetrapod limb has benefited enormously from the confluence of molecular and paleontological data. In the last two decades, our knowledge of the basic molecular mechanisms that control limb development has grown exponentially, and developmental biologists
## Abstract The origin of novel traits is what draws many to evolutionary biology, yet our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the genesis of novelty remains limited. Here I review definitions of novelty including its relationship to homology. I then discuss how ontogenetic perspectives m
## Abstract There is growing interest in the epigenetic mechanisms that impact human health and disease, including the role of microRNAs (miRNAs). These small (18β25 nucleotide), evolutionarily conserved, nonβcoding RNA molecules regulate gene expression in a postβtranscriptional manner. Several we
