The relationship among gene expression, the evolution of gene dosage, and the rate of protein evolution.
The understanding of selective constraints affecting genes is a major issue in biology. It is well established that gene expression level is a major determinant of the rate of protein evolution, but the reasons for this relationship remain highly debated. Here we demonstrate that gene expression is...
