Tracing the evolution of lineage-specific transcription factor binding sites in a birth-death framework.

Changes in cis-regulatory element composition that result in novel patterns of gene expression are thought to be a major contributor to the evolution of lineage-specific traits. Although transcription factor binding events show substantial variation across species, most computational approaches to s...
