Abstract excerpt
Parallel evolution occurs when distinct lineages with similar ancestral states converge on a new phenotype. Parallel evolution has been well documented at the organ, gene pathway, and amino acid sequence level but in theory, it can also occur at individual nucleotides within noncoding regions. To examine the role of parallel evolution in shaping the biology of mammalian complex traits, we used data on...
