While transcription regulators and the target genes that they regulate are often deeply conserved across species, the connections between the two change extensively over evolutionary timescales. In this review, we discuss case studies where, despite this extensive evolutionary rewiring, the resulting patterns of gene expression are preserved. We also discuss in silico models that reach the same general conclusions and provide additional insights into how this process occurs. Together, these approaches make a strong case that the preservation of gene expression patterns in the wake of extensive rewiring is a general feature of transcription circuit evolution.
