Gene expression drives the evolution of dominance

Dominance is difficult to measure in natural populations as it is confounded with fitness. Here, Huber et al. developed a new approach to co-estimate dominance and selection coefficients, and found that the observed relationship is best fit by a new model of dominance based on gene expression level.
