The search to understand how genomes innovate in response to selection dominates the field of evolutionary biology. Powerful molecular evolution approaches have been developed to test individual loci for signatures of selection. In many cases, however, an organism's response to changes in selective pressure may be mediated by multiple genes, whose products function together in a cellular process or pathway. Here we assess the prevalence of polygenic evolution in pathways in the yeasts Saccharomy ...[more]
