Published version of CAGEE!

Here, we present a new software package (Computational Analysis of Gene Expression Evolution [CAGEE]) for inferring patterns of increases and decreases in gene expression across a phylogenetic tree, as well as the rate at which these changes occur. CAGEE can calculate genome-wide rates of gene expression, along with ancestral states for each gene.
