      A core question in evolutionary biology is whether convergent phenotypic evolution is driven by convergent molecular changes in proteins or regulatory regions. We combined phylogenomic, developmental, and epigenomic analysis ...

    • Izumo1 and Juno: the evolutionary origins and coevolution of essential sperm–egg binding partners 

      Grayson, Phil (The Royal Society Publishing, 2015)
      Reproductive proteins are among the most rapidly evolving classes of proteins. For a subset of these, rapid evolution is driven by positive Darwinian selection despite vital, well-conserved, reproductive functions. Izumo1 ...
