#COSB_seminar @univienna Nicolas Gompel talks about regulatory evolution underlying wing patterning in insects. #evodevo 
Gompel argues, using evidence from the yellow wing spot enhancer, that modular “minimal enhancers” may capture a qualitative pattern but not the quantitative pattern driven by the endogenous gene.
Enhancer modularity is a matter of degree, as binding sites outside the “minimal enhancer” contribute to the pattern, also contributing to other functions, like ubiquitous expression across the wing blade.
