Transcriptome analyses reveal molecular mechanisms that regulate endochondral ossification in amphibian Bufo gargarizans during metamorphosis

ConclusionsThe exquisite coordination of the 28 genes is essential for regulation of endochondral ossification during B. gargarizans metamorphosis.General significanceThe present study will not only provide an invaluable genomic resource and background for further research of endochondral ossification in amphibians but will also aid in enhancing our understanding of the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates.
