Identifying Coopted Networks and Causative Mutations in the Origin of Novel Complex Traits.

Abstract excerpt

One of the central goals of the field of evo-devo is to understand how novel complex traits originate. Novel complex traits are often old, and this makes understanding the genetic basis of their origin difficult. The traditional genetics approach for identifying the causative mutations for trait origin, of crossing species with and without the trait, is often impossible when the species are too distantly related....
