Gene expression is stable despite widespread cis and trans regulatory divergence in Saccharomyces yeasts.

Regulatory evolution can alter phenotypes, but cis- and trans-regulatory mechanisms may also diverge extensively while total transcript abundance remains stable. Comparisons of parental expression with allele-specific expression in F1 hybrids provide a framework for separating cis- and trans-regulatory effects because...
