Functional divergence of conserved developmental plasticity genes between two distantly related nematodes

Abstract Genes diverge in form and function in multiple ways over time; they can be conserved, acquire new roles, or eventually be lost. However, the way genes diverge at the functional level is little understood, particularly in plastic systems. We investigated this process using two distantly rela...
