Evolutionary dissociations between homologous genes and homologous structures.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotype is encoded in the genome in an indirect manner: each morphological structure is the product of many interacting genes, and most regulatory genes have several distinct developmental roles and phenotypic consequences. The lack of a simple and consistent relationship between homologous genes and structures has important implications for understanding correlations between evolutionary changes at different...
