CANDIDATE GENES APPROACH. “Large numbers of comparative studies have demonstrated that changes in expression patterns of developmental genes are correlated with the evolution of morphological phenotypes. These data underlie the ‘candidate gene’ approach, in which genes that are functionally determined to cause particular phenotypes when mutated are hypothesized to be responsible for similar phenotypic changes during evolution.”
