The evolutionary origination and diversification of a dimorphic gene regulatory network through parallel innovations in cis and trans.
The origination and diversification of morphological characteristics represents a key problem in understanding the evolution of development. Morphological traits result from gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that form a web of transcription factors, which regulate multiple cis-regulatory element (CRE)...
