Contingency in the convergent evolution of a regulatory network: Dosage compensation in Drosophila.
The repeatability or predictability of evolution is a central question in evolutionary biology and most often addressed in experimental evolution studies. Here, we infer how genetically heterogeneous natural systems acquire the same molecular changes to address how genomic background affects adaptat...
