Comparative studies of gene expression and the evolution of gene regulation
The hypothesis that differences in gene regulation have an important role in speciation and
adaptation is more than 40 years old. With the advent of new sequencing technologies, we …

A deficit of detoxification enzymes: pesticide sensitivity and environmental response in the honeybee
The honeybee genome has substantially fewer protein coding genes (≈ 11 000 genes) than
Drosophila melanogaster (≈ 13 500) and Anopheles gambiae (≈ 14 000). Some of the …

Detecting signatures of selection on gene expression
A substantial amount of phenotypic diversity results from changes in gene expression levels
and patterns. Understanding how the transcriptome evolves is therefore a key priority in …

Neutral and adaptive variation in gene expression
A Whitehead, DL Crawford - Proceedings of the National …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
Variation among populations in gene expression should be related to the accumulation of
random-neutral changes and evolution by natural selection. The following evolutionary …
