Development constrains gene regulation evolution after genome duplication
Original: Development constrains the evolution of gene regulation after whole-genome duplication
A new study in Nature reports that developmental processes limit how gene regulation evolves following whole-genome duplication, a key mechanism in vertebrate evolution. The finding suggests that even when organisms gain extra copies of genes, developmental constraints restrict how those copies' regulation can diverge, shaping evolutionary paths.
Why now: The study was just published in Nature, drawing attention from evolutionary and developmental biologists.
