However, these genes have system effects. Their function (mission) was to integrate entire development as a whole and, for this reason, they occupied the highest level in the hierarchical structure of genome expression regulation. Even small genetic changes at this high level of regulators could produce a cascade of changes in gene activity and, as a consequence, rapid and extensive changes in the phenotype. Many changes in fox phenotype, under conditions of their experimental domestication, had resulted from shifts of the rates at which the relevant developmental processes proceeded.
