December 2006 in “Gene Expression Patterns” This study reports that the mouse Scube3 gene is expressed in various tissues during embryonic development, including the neural tube, limb buds, developing tooth, hair follicle, and skeletal regions.
3 citations
,
March 2025 in “Science Advances” This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

,
April 2009 in “Journal of anatomy” This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.
5 citations
,
January 2010 in “The anatomical record” This study assessed hair whorl characteristics in domestic dogs and found that simple whorls predominate, with tufted whorls more common in specific regions like elbows and chests, influenced by factors such as coat traits and source.
