  • Is ectopic expression caused by deregulatory mutations or due to gene‐regulation leaks with evolutionary potential?Francisco Rodríguez-Trelles, Rosa Tarrío & Francisco J. Ayala - 2005 - Bioessays 27 (6):592-601.
    It has long been thought that gene expression is tightly regulated in multicellular eukaryotes, so that expression profiles match functional profiles. This conception emerged from the assumption that gene activity is synonymous with gene function. This paradigm was first challenged by comparative protein electrophoresis studies showing extensive differences in expression patterns among related species. The paradigm is now being challenged by evolutionary transcriptomics using microarray technologies. Most gene expression profiles display features that lack any obvious functional significance. The so‐called “ectopic” (...)

  • Direct‐developing sea urchins and the evolutionary reorganization of early development.Rudolf A. Raff - 1992 - Bioessays 14 (4):211-218.
    The evolution of development can be made accessible to study by exploiting closely related species that exhibit distinct ontogenies. The direct‐developing sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma is closely related to indirect‐developing sea urchins that develop via a feeding larval stage. Superficial consideration would suggest that simple heterochronies resulting in loss of larval features and acceleration of adult features could explain the substitution of direct for indirect development. However, our experiments show that early development has in fact been extensively remodeled, with modified (...)

  • Transgenic animal studies on the evolution of genetic regulatory circuitries.Douglas R. Cavener - 1992 - Bioessays 14 (4):237-244.
    The ability to transfer genes from one species to another provides a powerful method to study genetic regulatory differences between species in a homogeneous genetic background. A survey of several transgenic animal experiments indicates that the vast majority of regulatory differences observed between species are due to differences in the cis‐acting elements associated with the genes under study. A corollary is that in almost all cases the host species provides the necessary regulatory proteins for expression of the transgenes in specific (...)
