Abstract excerpt
Variability in expression levels in response to random genomic mutations varies among genes, influencing both the facilitation and constraint of phenotypic evolution in organisms. Despite its importance, both the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary origins of this variability remain largely unknown due to the mixed contributions of cis- and trans-acting elements. To address this issue, we focused on the...
