Evolution of Reproductive Life History in Mammals and the Associated Change of Functional Constraints

Evolution of Reproductive Life History in Mammals and the Associated Change of Functional Constraints

Phylogenetic trees based on multiple genomic loci enable us to estimate the evolution of functional constraints that operate on genes based on lineage-specific fluctuation of the evolutionary rate at particular gene loci, “gene–branch interactions”. Using this information as predictors, our previous...
