The loci of evolution: how predictable is genetic evolution?

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2008

Stern David L, Orgogozo Virginie

Abstract excerpt

Is genetic evolution predictable? Evolutionary developmental biologists have argued that, at least for morphological traits, the answer is a resounding yes. Most mutations causing morphological variation are expected to reside in the cis-regulatory, rather than the coding, regions of developmental genes. This "cis-regulatory hypothesis" has recently come under attack. In this review, we first describe and...
