<i>In Silico</i> Analysis of Gene Expression Network Components Underlying Pigmentation Phenotypes in the Python Identified Evolutionarily Conserved Clusters of Transcription Factor Binding Sites

<div>Color and pattern phenotypes in ball pythons (Part 2). Observed variation in pigmentation and color morphological phenotypes provides evidence for genetic modulation of these phenotypes. (a) Heterozygous spider (dominant). (b) Homozygous Clown (recessive). (c) Heterozygous Mojave (codominant), heterozygous Enchi (codominant). (d) Homozygous piebald (recessive), heterozygous spider (dominant). The examples of ball python (<i>Python regius</i>) morphological phenotypes are used to illustrate phenotypic diversity in pythons and are not meant to suggest any direct causative relationship between the color and pigmentation phenotypes illustrated and the resulting analysis of<i> Burmese python</i> genomic sequence.</div>
