Adaptive evolution of proteins expressed in late development and adult in animals
Adaptive evolution of proteins expressed in late development and adult in animals
Abstract Both the early conservation and hourglass Evo-Devo models suggest that, during development, late development (after the morphological ‘phylotypic’ period: both late and post-embryonic development) has the highest divergence at the morphological and molecular levels between species. Our aim here is to determine as much as possible the relative contributions …
