Abstract excerpt
Cis-regulatory DNA has been suspected to play a preeminent role in adaptive evolution, but understanding the role of cis-regulatory mutations in gene expression divergence first requires an accurate analysis of the functional differences associated with these regions. We analyzed allele-specific expression (ASE) in leaf and floral tissues of F1 interspecific hybrids generated between the two closely related...
