Gene Expression Regulation Evolution following Whole Genome Duplication: two comparative studies in Xenopus clawed frogs

<p> Gene expression, and its mechanisms of regulation, remains a major area for
contemporary research in evolution. With its role connecting specific gene
sequences and their protein products, contributing to efforts toward understanding
the specific contributions of different mechanisms of gene expression regulation is
the goal of this thesis. Through two specific case studies, this thesis examines
expression regulatory divergence in two different physiological contexts; the
immuno-response rag1 and rag2 genes, and the male upregulated sex differentiation
gene dmrt1. </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
