    M Z Ludwig
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
    Development 125:949-58. 1998
    ..This view allows for a slow but continual turnover of functionally important changes in the stripe 2 enhancer...

    M Z Ludwig
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
    Nature 403:564-7. 2000
    ..Sequence differences between species have functional consequences, therefore, but they are masked by other co-evolved differences. On the basis of these results, we present a model for the evolution of eukaryotic regulatory sequences...

    Michael Z Ludwig
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
    Curr Opin Genet Dev 12:634-9. 2002
    ..Several experimentally characterized regulatory elements have failed to show sequence similarity even between closely related species...
  5. ncbi Functional evolution of a cis-regulatory module
    Michael Z Ludwig
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Illinois, USA
    PLoS Biol 3:e93. 2005

    Michael Z Ludwig
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America
    PLoS Genet 7:e1002364. 2011
    ..These results imply that seemingly redundant regulatory sequences beyond the minimal enhancer are necessary for robust gene expression and that "robustness" itself must be an evolved characteristic of the wild-type enhancer...

    Susan E Lott
    Committee on Genetics, Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, 1101 East 57th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:10926-31. 2007
    ..Thus, the developmental mechanism that assures robust scaling within a species does not prevent rapid evolution between species...

    Curr Biol 13:224-9. 2003
    ..This is consistent with the notion that an anterior gradient system is not necessary in all insects and that the posterior pole "probably conveys longitudinal polarity on the ensuing germ anlage"...
