Functional evolution of cis-regulatory modules at a homeotic gene in Drosophila.

Functional evolution of cis-regulatory modules at a homeotic gene in Drosophila.

It is a long-held belief in evolutionary biology that the rate of molecular evolution for a given DNA sequence is inversely related to the level of functional constraint. This belief holds true for the protein-coding homeotic (Hox) genes originally discovered in Drosophila melanogaster. Expression o...
