Evolutionary change in the functional specificity of genes.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 May 1999

Eizinger A, Jungblut B, Sommer R J

Abstract excerpt

Species throughout the animal kingdom share not only housekeeping but also many key regulatory genes. Nonetheless, species differ from one another developmentally and thus, also morphologically. One of the general aims of comparative developmental genetics is to understand how similar molecules can generate the known diversity of biological form. Here, we argue that gene function can change in different ways...
