Excited to share our latest paper on How does gene expression evolve during adaptation? We used experimental evolution in flour beetles to find out. 🪲

Using a joint transcriptomic and quantitative genetics approach, we show that evolutionary changes in gene expression are predictable and largely driven by indirect selection on connected hub genes.

Published now in Evolution Letters @EvolLetters, spearheaded by Eva L. Koch and Charles Rocabert.
