Regulatory Variation in Functionally Polymorphic Globin Genes of the Bank Vole: A Possible Role for Adaptation

Regulatory Variation in Functionally Polymorphic Globin Genes of the Bank Vole: A Possible Role for Adaptation

Interaction between gene expression and protein-coding genetic variation is increasingly being appreciated as an important source of adaptive phenotypic variation. In this study, we used reverse transcription–qPCR to test for gene expression variation in two β-globin paralogs (HBB-T1 and HBB-T2) of...
