Evolution of gene expression in the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup.

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about broad patterns of variation and evolution of gene expression during any developmental process. Here we investigate variation in genome-wide gene expression among Drosophila simulans, Drosophila yakuba and four strains of Drosophila melanogaster during a major developmental transition--the start of metamorphosis. Differences in gene activity between these lineages follow a phylogenetic...
