Abstract
Comparative functional genomics approaches have already shed an important light on the evolution of gene expression that underlies phenotypic diversity. However, comparison across many species in a phylogeny presents several major challenges. Here, we describe our experimental framework for comparative transcriptomics in a complex phylogeny.
