説明

<jats:title>Don't Ape Protein Variation</jats:title> <jats:p> Changes in DNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels have been used to estimate evolutionary changes between species. However protein expression levels may better reflect selection on divergent and constrained phenotypes. <jats:bold> Khan <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> </jats:bold> (p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6162" page="1100" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="342" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1242379">1100</jats:related-article> , published online 17 October; see the Perspective by <jats:bold> <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6162" page="1052" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="342" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1247833">Vogel</jats:related-article> </jats:bold> ) measured the differences among and within species between mRNA expression and protein levels in humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques, identifying protein transcripts that seem to be under lineage-specific constraint between humans and chimpanzees. </jats:p>
