A selection index for gene expression evolution and its application to the divergence between humans and chimpanzees.
The importance of gene regulation in animal evolution is a matter of long-standing interest, but measuring the impact of selection on gene expression has proven a challenge. Here, we propose a selection index of gene expression as a straightforward method for assessing the mode and strength of selec...
