Evolutionary rewiring of regulatory networks contributes to phenotypic differences between human and mouse orthologous genes.

Abstract excerpt

Mouse models have been engineered to reveal the biological mechanisms of human diseases based on an assumption. The assumption is that orthologous genes underlie conserved phenotypes across species. However, genetically modified mouse orthologs of human genes do not often recapitulate human disease phenotypes which might be due to the molecular evolution of phenotypic differences across species from the time of...
