Excerpt

The conquest of land was arguably one of the most fundamental ecological transitions in vertebrates, and entailed significant changes in skin structure and appendages to cope with the new environment. In extant tetrapods, the rigidity of the integument is largely created by type I and type II keratins, which are structural proteins essential in forming a strong cytoplasmic network. It is expected that such proteins have undergone fundamental changes in both stem and crown tetrapods. Here we integrate genomic, phylogenetic and expression …
