Microevolutionary support for a developmental hourglass: gene expression patterns shape sequence variation and divergence in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

A central goal of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) is to synthesize comparative molecular developmental genetics and its description of the dynamic relationship between genotype and phenotype with the microevolutionary processes (mutation, random drift, and selection) of population genetics. To this end, we analyzed sequence variation of five gene classes that act sequentially to shape early embryo...
