There is abundant variation in gene expression between individuals, populations, and
species. The evolution of gene regulation and expression within and between species is …

Drosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in
biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception …

Genetic admixture is central to primate evolution. We combined 50 years of field
observations of immigration and group demography with genomic data from~ 9 generations …

The classic model for the evolution of novel gene function is through gene duplication
followed by evolution of a new function by one of the copies (neofunctionalization)[1, 2] …

Allopolyploidization (hybridization and whole-genome duplication) is a common
phenomenon in plant evolution with immediate saltational effects on genome structure and …

Heritable changes in gene expression are important contributors to phenotypic differences
within and between species and are caused by mutations in cis-regulatory elements and …

When different alleles are favored in different environments, dominance reversal where
alternate alleles are dominant in the environment in which they are favored can generate net …

Understanding general principles about the origin of species remains one of the
foundational challenges in evolutionary biology. The genomic divergence between groups …

Background Dominance and other non-additive genetic effects arise from the interaction
between alleles, and historically these phenomena play a major role in quantitative …

When gene regulatory networks diverge between species, their dysfunctional expression in
inter-species hybrid individuals can create genetic incompatibilities that generate the …
