Gene regulatory evolution in cold-adapted fly populations neutralizes plasticity and may undermine genetic canalization
Y. Huang, J. Lack, G. Hoppel, J. E. Pool
This study examines how adaptive evolution in cold-adapted Drosophila populations affects gene regulatory plasticity and canalization, finding that adaptive changes neutralize ancestral plasticity and may reduce genetic canalization for gene expression but not splicing.
