Design principles of gene evolution for niche adaptation through changes in protein-protein interaction networks.

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to fossorial and above-ground organisms, subterranean species have adapted to the extreme stresses of living underground. We analyzed the predicted protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of all gene products, including those of stress-response genes, among nine subterranean, ten fossorial, and 13 aboveground species. We considered 10,314 unique orthologous protein families and constructed 5,879,879 PPIs...
