Abstract excerpt
Divergence in gene expression is of interest because it generates molecular markers for phenotypic variation, potentially including the causes underlying this variation. Alteration of gene expression patterns can have a direct genetic (or epigenetic) basis in cis regulatory polymorphism or can be indirectly regulated by trans-acting factors. Expression mapping studies have begun to reveal the local (suggesting...
