A general picture of the role of expression divergence in the evolution of duplicate genes is
emerging, thanks to the availability of completely sequenced genomes and functional …

Surveys of gene expression reveal extensive variability both within and between a wide
range of species. Compelling cases have been made for adaptive changes in gene …

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 …

Genomewide association map** in model organisms such as inbred mouse strains is a
promising approach for the identification of risk factors related to human diseases. However …

A recent advance in the phylogenetic comparative analysis of continuous traits has been
explicit, model-based measurement of “phylogenetic signal” in data sets composed of …

Background Two decades of research showing that increasing plant diversity results in
greater community productivity has been predicated on greater functional diversity allowing …

Much of the phenotypic variation observed between even closely related species may be
driven by differences in gene expression levels. The current availability of reliable …

There is considerable interest in comparing functional genomic data across species. One
goal of such work is to provide an integrated understanding of genome and phenotype …

A number of methods have been developed for modeling the evolution of a quantitative trait
on a phylogeny. These methods have received renewed interest in the context of genome …

Multiple rounds of whole genome duplication have repeatedly marked the evolution of
vertebrates, and correlate strongly with morphological innovation. However, less is known …
