Causes and evolutionary significance of genetic convergence.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Sept 2010

Christin Pascal-Antoine, Weinreich Daniel M, Besnard Guillaume

Abstract excerpt

Convergent phenotypes provide extremely valuable systems for studying the genetics of new adaptations. Accumulating studies on this topic have reported surprising cases of convergent evolution at the molecular level, ranging from gene families being recurrently recruited to identical amino acid replacements in distant lineages. Together, these different examples of genetic convergence suggest that molecular...
