Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary mechanisms that operate on genetic variation within transcriptional regulatory sequences are not well understood. We present here an evolutionary analysis of an exceptionally well characterized cis-regulatory region, the endo16 promoter of the purple sea urchin. Segregating variation reveals striking differences in the intensity of negative selection among regulatory modules, reflecting their...
