Patterns and evolutionary consequences of pleiotropy

J Zhang - Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Pleiotropy refers to the phenomenon of one gene or one mutation affecting multiple
phenotypic traits. While the concept of pleiotropy is as old as Mendelian genetics, functional …

Divergence of duplicate genes in exon–intron structure

G Xu, C Guo, H Shan, H Kong - Proceedings of the national …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Gene duplication plays key roles in organismal evolution. Duplicate genes, if they survive,
tend to diverge in regulatory and coding regions. Divergences in coding regions, especially …

The loci of repeated evolution: a catalog of genetic hotspots of phenotypic variation

A Martin, V Orgogozo - Evolution, 2013 - academic.oup.com
What is the nature of the genetic changes underlying phenotypic evolution? We have
catalogued 1008 alleles described in the literature that cause phenotypic differences among …

Evolution of transcription networks—lessons from yeasts

H Li, AD Johnson - Current Biology, 2010 - cell.com
That regulatory evolution is important in generating phenotypic diversity was suggested
soon after the discovery of gene regulation. In the past few decades, studies in animals have …

[图书][B] Mutation-driven evolution

M Nei - 2013 - books.google.com
The purpose of this book is to present a new mechanistic theory of mutation-driven evolution

Modes of gene duplication contribute differently to genetic novelty and redundancy, but show parallels across divergent angiosperms

Y Wang, X Wang, H Tang, X Tan, SP Ficklin, FA Feltus… - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Background Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in
angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene …

Gene co-expression network connectivity is an important determinant of selective constraint

N Mähler, J Wang, BK Terebieniec, PK Ingvarsson… - PLoS …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
While several studies have investigated general properties of the genetic architecture of
natural variation in gene expression, few of these have considered natural, outbreeding …

[HTML][HTML] Widespread adaptive evolution during repeated evolutionary radiations in New World lupins

B Nevado, GW Atchison, CE Hughes… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
The evolutionary processes that drive rapid species diversification are poorly understood. In
particular, it is unclear whether Darwinian adaptation or non-adaptive processes are the …

Population genetics, pleiotropy, and the preferential fixation of mutations during adaptive evolution

MA Streisfeld, MD Rausher - Evolution, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Ongoing debate centers on whether certain types of mutations are fixed preferentially during
adaptive evolution. Although there has been much discussion, no quantitative framework …

The evolution and adaptive potential of transcriptional variation in sticklebacks—signatures of selection and widespread heritability

EH Leder, RJS McCairns, T Leinonen… - Molecular biology …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
