Sorting of ancestral polymorphism and its impact on morphological phylogenetics and macroevolution
Abstract. Intraspecific phenotypic variation provides the basic substrate upon which the evolutionary processes that give rise to morphological innovation,

Excited to announce a paper led by PhD student Christina Harvey on the evolution of paralog synfunctionalization in the calsequestrin gene family. Vertebrate muscle physiology (particularly birds) meets gene family evolution and phylum-scale RNA-seq journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...
Deep-time gene expression shift reveals an ancient change in avian muscle phenotypes
Author Summary Duplicated genes adopt different functional relationships that can directly influence physiological processes. Calsequestrin-1 and calsequestrin-2 are two similar proteins expressed fro...
