Systematic Detection of Polygenic Regulatory
Evolution
The idea that most morphological adaptations can be attributed to changes in the
cis-regulation of gene expression levels has been gaining
increasing acceptance, despite the fact that only a handful of such cases have
so far been demonstrated. Moreover, because each of these cases involves only
one gene, we lack any understanding of how natural selection may act on
cis-regulation across entire pathways or networks. Here we
apply a genome-wide test for selection on cis-regulation to two
subspecies of the mouse Mus musculus. We find evidence for
lineage-specific selection at over 100 genes involved in diverse processes such
as growth, locomotion, and memory. These gene sets implicate candidate genes
that are supported by both quantitative trait loci and a validated
causality-testing framework, and they predict a number of phenotypic
differences, which we confirm in all four cases tested. Our results suggest that
gene expression adaptation is widespread and that these adaptations can be
highly polygenic, involving cis-regulatory changes at numerous
functionally related genes. These coordinated adaptations may contribute to
divergence in a wide range of morphological, physiological, and behavioral
phenotypes.
