Question: what gene did you discover

Marlene Lorgen answered on 20 Nov 2013:

I discovered 2 genes 🙂 one called iodothyronine deiodinase (Dio) 2b and another called Dio3a1. We are currently writing a paper about these which should hopefully be submitted soon! Dio genes regulate the amount of active thyroid hormone in different tissues which in turn regulate things such as changes in skin colour during animal metamorphosis!
