Preferred Label : dermal condensation of feather follicle;
Uberon definition : A suprabasal cell population which together with the feather follicle placode develops
into the feather follicle.;
Uberon Taxon note : The development of placodes where dermal condensations occur, an evolutionary novelty,
required changes in gene expression and timing. However, such changes are known to
be an important mechanism in the origin of morphological innovations in many other
organisms (True and Carroll 2002, Prum 2005);
