Rates of divergence in gene expression profiles of primates, mice, and flies: stabilizing selection and variability among functional categories.

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which natural selection shapes phenotypic variation has long been a matter of debate among those studying organic evolution. We studied the patterns of gene expression polymorphism and divergence in several datasets that ranged from comparisons between two very closely related laboratory strains of mice to comparisons across a considerably longer time scale, such as between humans and chimpanzees,...
