Phylogeny disambiguates the evolution of heat-shock cis-regulatory elements in Drosophila.

Heat-shock genes have a well-studied control mechanism for their expression that is mediated through cis-regulatory motifs known as heat-shock elements (HSEs). The evolution of important features of this control mechanism has not been investigated in detail, however. Here we exploit the genome seque...
