Signatures of selection in pleiotropic genes involved in insect neuronal and immune systems
2026-03-03
Abstract excerpt
Pleiotropy, where a single gene contributes to multiple biological functions, plays a central role in shaping evolutionary constraints. The nervous and immune systems are tightly integrated both functionally and genetically, but it is not clear whether pleiotropy constrains adaptation in each system or contributes to disease. Building on evidence that genes that are pleiotropic between development and immunity in...
