The hypothetical relationship between developmental stability in the ancestors and conservation in the descendants. Schematic representation of gene expression variation under the same genetic background (variation between F0 inbred embryos, left) and predicted variation under the diversified genetic background (variation between F3 hybrid embryos, right). Previous study(22) using medaka showed lower transcriptomic variation (high developmental stability) during the body-plan developing phase than the earlier and later stages. In the present study, we hypothesized that developmental stages with higher stability would result in more conserved status after the crossing experiment
