The Convergent Evolution of Blue Iris Pigmentation in Primates Took Distinct Molecular Paths

How many distinct molecular paths lead to the same phenotype? One approach to this question has been to examine the genetic basis of convergent traits, which likely evolved repeatedly under a shared selective pressure. We investigated the convergent phenotype of blue iris pigmentation, which has ari...
