Variable gene transcription underlies phenotypic convergence of hypoxia tolerance in sculpins

Variable gene transcription underlies phenotypic convergence of hypoxia tolerance in sculpins

Abstract Background The degree by which mechanisms underlying phenotypic convergence are similar among taxa depends on the number of evolutionary paths available for selection to act upon. Likelihood of convergence will be influenced by an interplay of factors such as genetic architecture, phylogene...
