Sex-dependent gene expression and evolution of the Drosophila transcriptomeJose M Ranz
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Science 300:1742-5. 2003..Our results suggest that sex-dependent selection may drive changes in expression of many of the most rapidly evolving genes in the Drosophila transcriptome...
The functional genomic distribution of protein divergence in two animal phyla: coevolution, genomic conflict, and constraintCristian I Castillo-Davis
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
Genome Res 14:802-11. 2004..Thus, strong purifying selection appears to act on the same core cellular processes in both mammalian and nematode lineages, whereas positive and/or relaxed selection acts on different biological processes in each lineage...

Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 16 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
Nat Genet 31:415-8. 2002..Thus, natural selection appears to favor short introns in highly expressed genes to minimize the cost of transcription and other molecular processes, such as splicing...
