Abstract excerpt
Recent large-scale studies of evolutionary changes in gene expression among mammalian species have led to the proposal that gene expression divergence may be neutral with respect to organismic fitness. Here, we employ a comparative analysis of mammalian gene sequence divergence and gene expression divergence to test the hypothesis that the evolution of gene expression is predominantly neutral. Two models of...
