Experimental approaches to evaluate the contributions of candidate cis-regulatory mutations to phenotypic evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Elucidating the molecular bases by which phenotypic traits have evolved provides a glimpse into the past, allowing the characterization of genetic changes that cumulatively contribute to evolutionary innovations. Historically, much of the experimental attention has been focused on changes in protein-coding regions that can readily be identified by the genetic code for translating gene coding sequences into...
