Abstract
Identification of mutations in an FGF receptor gene underlying scale loss in a zebrafish mutant, as well as the domesticated mirror carp breed, emphasises the role of genetic redundancy as a facilitator of evolutionary change and has implications for the molecular basis of morphological evolution.
