Tissue-specific and cis-regulatory changes underlie parallel, adaptive gene expression evolution in house mice.

Changes in gene regulation have long been appreciated as a driving force of adaptive evolution, however the relative contributions of cis- and trans-acting changes to gene regulation over short evolutionary timescales remain unclear. Instances of recent, parallel phenotypic evolution provide an oppo...
