Specialization of a polyphenism switch gene following serial duplications in Pristionchus nematodes
Erik J Ragsdale, Nicholas A Ivers
The paper investigates how gene duplications contribute to the evolution of a polyphenism switch gene in Pristionchus nematodes, finding purifying selection on the genes and a specialized role for eud-1 in mouthpart polyphenism.
