Towards a gene regulatory network perspective on phenotypic plasticity, genetic accommodation and genetic assimilation.

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms can produce alternative phenotypes in direct response to different environmental conditions, a phenomenon known as phenotypic plasticity. The environmentally sensitive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that mediate such developmental flexibility are largely unknown. Yet, characterizing these GRNs is important not only for elucidating plasticity's molecular basis, but also for shedding light onto...
