Like protein-coding genes, loci that produce microRNAs (miRNAs) are generally considered to be under purifying selection [1–3], consistent with miRNA polymorphisms being able to cause disease [4]. Nevertheless, it has been hypothesized that variation in miRNA genes may contribute to phenotypic diversity [1, 3, 5, 6]. Here we demonstrate that a naturally occurring polymorphism in the MIR164A gene affects...
Morphological diversity is often caused by altered gene expression of key developmental regulators. However, the precise developmental trajectories through which morphologies evolved remain poorly understood. It is also unclear to what degree genetic changes contributing to morphological divergence were fixed by natural selection. Here we investigate these problems in the context of evolutionary developmental...
