1/ Why are eukaryotic gene regulatory networks (GRNs) so much more complex than prokaryotic ones?
In our new preprint, we investigated the role that recombination – a key step in eukaryotic reproductive strategies – plays in this problem! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Evolutionary simulations reveal role for genomic recombination in the evolution of gene regulatory network complexity and robustness
The gene regulatory networks (GRNs) of eukaryotes are dramatically more complex than the GRNs of prokaryotes, but we lack a complete picture of the selective pressures that have shaped this difference...
