Improving Estimates of Compensatory cis-trans Regulatory Divergence.


ABSTRACT: Interspecific hybrids have played a key role in research on gene expression regulation. A growing number of studies have measured genome-wide allele-specific expression in hybrids and observed that cis-regulatory changes often oppose trans-acting changes affecting the same genes, suggesting stabilizing selection for compensatory changes. However, the most common method for estimating these effects is biased, producing artifactual patterns of compensatory evolution. Here I introduce a simple modification leveraging biological replicates that ameliorates the bias.
