Snake genome reveals burrowing past and re-adaptation to surface life
https://phys.org/news/2023-06-snake-genome-reveals-burrowing-re-adaptation.htmlLarge-scale #snake #genome analyses provide insights into vertebrate development https://phys.org/news/2023-06-snake-genome-reveals-burrowing-re-adaptation.html
"The authors suggest that early #snakes underwent a prolonged low-light #burrowing period before returning to well-lit surface habitats. In this scenario, the structure and function of the snake #eyes would have re-adapted to surface light by upregulating the #genes that had been conserved."
