Impact of selection on genes involved in regulatory network: a modelling study.

Abstract excerpt

Complex phenotypes are often controlled by many interacting genes. One question emerging from such organization is how selection, acting at the phenotypic level, shapes the evolution of genes involved in regulatory networks controlling the phenotypes. We studied this issue through a matrix model of such networks. In a population submitted to selection, we simulated the evolution of a quantitative trait controlled...
