Extreme restructuring of cis-regulatory regions controlling a deeply conserved plant stem cell regulator.

A striking paradox is that genes with conserved protein sequence, function and expression pattern over deep time often exhibit extremely divergent cis-regulatory sequences. It remains unclear how such drastic cis-regulatory evolution across species allows preservation of gene function, and to what e...
