We suggest that the use of either of these two computational models to study the evolution of a gene's expression may be subject to great uncertainty, and the investigation of changes in both gene expression patterns over corresponding tissues and co-expression of the gene with other genes is necessary.

A major goal of molecular evolution is to determine how natural selection has shaped the evolution of a gene.

During the evolution of a genome, those genes required for or that facilitate the survival of a species are created and maintained, whereas unwanted genes are discarded.
