Cis-regulatory evolution in prokaryotes revealed by interspecific archaeal hybrids

Abstract The study of allele-specific expression (ASE) in interspecific hybrids has played a central role in our understanding of a wide range of phenomena, including genomic imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation, and cis-regulatory evolution. However across the hundreds of studies of hybrid ASE, al...
