Dissecting the genetic basis of a complex <i>cis</i> -regulatory adaptation

2015-10-15

Abstract excerpt

Although single genes underlying several evolutionary adaptations have been identified, the genetic basis of complex, polygenic adaptations has been far more challenging to pinpoint. Here we report that the budding yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus has recently evolved resistance to citrinin, a naturally occurring mycotoxin. Applying a genome-wide test for selection on cis -regulation, we identified five genes invol...
